12 fresh blackberries or raspberries
1 ounce simple syrup use 2-ounces for a sweeter drink
1 ounce fresh lemon juice one lemon - remove strips of the rind to make your twists, before squeezing.
3 ounces cognac
1 ounce raspberry liqueur like Chambord
ice cubes

Add the fresh berries, simple syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Gently crush the berries with a muddler to release their juices.
Add the cognac, raspberry liqueur, and 3 ice cubes to the shaker. Place the lid on the shaker and tightly seal. Shake vigorously for 45-60 seconds to combine and cool the drink.
Strain the drink into two chilled glasses, top with additional ice, and garnish with a twist of lemon and fresh berry. Serve immediately.

If you don’t have Chambord, you can substitute it with another raspberry or berry-flavored liqueur, such as crème de cassis or a blackberry liqueur.
This cocktail can also be enjoyed in a rocks glass over ice if you prefer a more casual presentation.
No cognac? You can try brandy, rum, or whiskey. It will still be delicious, but the flavor profile will be different.
Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can release bitterness from the seeds.
If you prefer a smoother texture without any blackberry seeds and pulp, you can double strain the cocktail by pouring it through a fine mesh strainer after shaking.
