Review

Simple but great - smooth, sweet 'n' sour blackberry, although possibly a tad on the sweet side for some.

I cut the simple syrup to 0.25 oz and the sweetness was just right for me

It is sweet. Tried with 1/4 shot of sugar and still sweet. Going to try with lemon juice next to make it a bit more Bramble like.

Only had Absolute Mandarin at hand, but that worked very well too.
