Really delicious. The crème de mûre is quite subtle and deliciously present on the after palate. In honour of Mark went with makers 46, Giffard crème de mûre, then spec. Generous garnish of strawberries and raspberries for aromatics - thanks Scott in comments.

This is really nice. This is rough and smooth at the same time. Very delicate and robust all at once. Love it.

Lovely cocktail and don't skip the garnish. It doesn't have to be a blackberry, you can substitute it for strawberry but the berry smell is essential.
