Ingredients

  • 1 oz. a dry gin such as Spring44
  • 1 oz. Campari
  • 1 oz. sweet vermouth
  • 6 blackberries
  • Garnish: orange peel and additional blackberries

Instructions

  1. Have a rocks glass with a large ice cube ready. If you don’t have a large ice cube, you can use several regular ice cubes, but the cocktail will dilute more quickly.
  2. In a cocktail pitcher or other container (a large glass measuring cup works well), muddle or crush with a spoon the 6 blackberries to release all their juices.
  3. Add the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth to the container and fill with ice.
  4. Stir to combine and chill down for one minute.
  5. Strain into the rocks glass with the ice cube and garnish with the orange peel by twisting the peel over the cocktail to release the fragrant oils. Add the peel and a blackberry or two to the glass to finish.
