Chill a cordial glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes.
Pour 30ml blackberry brandy directly into the chilled glass.
Add 30ml anise liqueur.
Do not stir or shake.
Serve immediately as a shot.
The magic here is purely in the pairing - blackberry brandy and anise liqueur together trigger a flavor memory that is startlingly close to a black or purple jelly bean. Sambuca works particularly well as the anise component for a slightly drier, more aromatic result.
