Must Try This...

Move over martini, and make room for the BLACKBERRY JULEP! Doesn't that look wonderful? A sister sent me this and I can't wait until the weather warms up again to try it!

1 1/2 oz. Marie Brizard Blackberry
1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
1 oz. Water

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a Highball 34 filled crushed ice. Stir until the glass begins to frost. Garnish with marinated mixed berries.

MARINADE: The berries can be a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and black and red raspberries. Marinate them for several hours in equal parts of Brandy, Cointreau and sugar, stirring occasionally. For each quart of berries use half an ounce of brandy, one ounce of Cointreau (or a comparable local product), and 1/2 cup superfine bar sugar.
