From the Bartender

For maximum blackberry flavour and a striking deep-purple colour bleeding through the crushed ice, muddle the berries directly in the glass before building the drink rather than in the shaker - this keeps the fruit texture visible and lets the colour streak naturally as the cocktail is sipped.
