1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear coupe and place one small ripe blackberry with one tiny fresh basil leaf on a short plain pick.

2. 02

   Select three additional fresh basil leaves and slap them once between your palms to express their oils without tearing them.

4. 04

   Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds until cold and lightly diluted.

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe, leaving every bruised basil fragment behind.

   Rest the single blackberry-and-basil pick neatly at the rim and serve without another garnish.
