ShakeBuild

Shake the gin, lemon juice and syrup with ice and strain over crushed ice in an old fashioned glass. Drizzle the blackberry liqueur over the top and let it bleed down through the ice.

Dick Bradsell made it in London in the 1980s, and it became one of the signatures of modern British bartending. He described it as a memory of picking blackberries as a child. The red thread bleeding down through crushed ice is how you recognise it.
