One recipe serving per guest. Choose the amount you want to prepare.

Base only: 375 ml · Per serving: 62.5 ml. Use a container larger than the volume shown; allow room for fruit and stirring.

Prepare the base

• 300 ml Gin
• 75 ml Simple syrup (1:1)

Keep separate for serving

• 150 ml Lemon (fresh juice)
• 90 ml Crème de mûre

Optional garnishes · Optional

• 12 pieces Blackberries (for garnish)
• 6 pieces Lemon (wedge, for garnish)

Water for the batch

Do not pre-dilute this base. The original shake or stir with ice supplies the dilution at service.

Prepare and serve

1. Measure the base ingredients into a clean, covered container and stir to combine. Keep the quantities in the serving section separate.
2. Prepare for today’s service. Label and refrigerate the covered base; follow ingredient storage labels. Keep ice out of the container and chill the glasses before serving.
3. For each glass, use 62.5 ml of base in place of those ingredients in the original method. Add the separate ingredients at their per-serving amounts. Do not measure the base ingredients a second time.

• Prepare fresh juice close to serving and keep it chilled separately unless it is explicitly in the base. Fresh batches are for this service, not an overnight storage promise.
• Keep the float or layered ingredient separate. Follow the original pouring order in each glass.

The list saves ingredient names, not party quantities. Check the totals above against how much you have. Garnishes and ice are not added.
