Cognac, Fresh Blackberries, Fresh Lemon Sour Mix, and Cointreau

♦ MAKES 1 COCKTAIL

• 4 – 5 fresh or frozen blackberries
• 2 oz. cognac
• 1/4 – 1/2 oz. orange liqueur
• 1 1/2 oz. Fresh Lemon Sour mix (see recipe)
  or 3/4 oz. Sun Orchard Lemon Juice + 3/4 oz. simple syrup
  Garnish: sugar-rimmed glass, lemon zest twist and blackberry on a pick

Drop blackberries into a pint mixing glass. Press lightly with a muddler to release juices. Measure in the cognac, orange liqueur, and Fresh Lemon Sour Mix. Fill with ice, then cap and shake vigorously. Strain into a prepared martini glass (double-strain if desired). Garnish.

For seasonal variety, substitute blueberry or raspberry puree for the blackberry.
