Blackberry Julep

---

From blackbird in new york (now closed). I substitute my blackberry liqueur (recipe #91061) for the marie brizard. Cooking time is actually time to marinate the berries.

---

Steps

---

Marinate berries in brandy through sugar 3 hours.

---

Combine blackberry liqueur through water in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice.

---

Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice.

---

Garnish with 1 heaping tbs marinated mixed berries and serve with a straw.

---

Use leftover berries to make more drinks or serve over ice cream , pudding , pound cake , etc.
