Basically, a whisky sour served over crushed ice with a dash of rich crème de mûre. For whisky drinkers this Scotch whisky riff on Dick Bradsell's classic...
Not being a great fan of layered/ fragmented cocktails, I followed Calvin's inspired suggestion of a Negroni-style serve. The JW Black Label and Sisca (Lejay as-was) crème de mûre were given equal weight and the fruity result was perfect for an early summer afternoon. One for Blood and Sand lovers.
Poured all the ingredients over ice, stirred, drank, like you would a negroni. Exceptional! A new favorite. Sidetrack Distillery's Blackberry Liqueur produced more of a six than a four on the sweetness/dry/sour scale IMO.
