Imbibe like a James Beard Award winner
Tonight, the James Beard Foundation will host its 25th annual awards gala in Chicago, where the JBF Bramble will be served.
The cocktail was created specifically to be served at the gala, which honors top chefs, bartenders and restaurateurs. But home mixologists can make it themselves, too.
Here’s the recipe.
JBF Bramble
From Bacardi
2 parts Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro de Ron
¾ ounce lemon juice
¾ ounce simple syrup
¾ ounce blackberry purée
Shake all ingredients vigorously with plenty ice, strain into a highball glass then pack it with crushed ice and drizzle blackberry purée on top. Garnish with a blackberry skewer and basil leaf.
