Comments

Just what I was looking for, I had some blackberries that were begging to be muddled and was thinking about something with rye. This is sort of a riff on the Boulevardier base, using Aveze with the berries/Marschino/lemon juice taking it beyond. A wide cast of flavors alternate for attention from the sip through mid palate, while the Aveze provides the uniting center and bitterness that transitions gently into the finish.
