1. Combine ingredients and ice in a shaker. Shake, double strain. Pour into a coupe (shallow stemmed champagne-style) glass. Garnish with mint sprig.

Note:

To make blackberry syrup, combine 1 cup blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/8 cup water, stirring to dissolve. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain, pressing the fruit into the mesh strainer to extract more juice. Bring to room temperature.
