Bright gin botanicals and a whisper of dry vermouth are lifted by the lush, jammy sweetness of blackberry brandy, producing a balanced, slightly fruity martini. It pours clear with a subtle ruby tint and is finished with fresh blackberries for color and aroma. Worth trying if you want a spirit-forward, elegant cocktail that adds a berry twist to a classic martini.
