I'm part of the eight generation at Dickie Bros. Orchard in Nelson County, Virginia. After being encouraged by the manager of Virginia Distillery Company to create a new cocktail, I decided to give it whirl. I created the Blackberry Bramble one afternoon in my kitchen by combining Virginia Distillery Company's Highland Malt Whisky and Dickie Bros. Orchard's freshly picked blackberries into a scrumptiously sweet beverage. The Virginia Distillery Company's staff instantly loved the new cocktail and now it's part of their cocktail selection at their tasting room in Nelson County, Va.

Crush 2 quarts of Dickie Bros. Orchard Blackberries, add little sugar and cook into a simple syrup. Pour a ½ oz of Virginia Distillery Company's Highland Malt Whisky into a clean, clear cocktail glass. Add a couple of ounces of Dickie Bros. Orchard's Blackberry syrup, add a splash of lime juice, some ice and then stir.

Garnish the Blackberry Bramble with a sprig of mint and cocktail stick adorned with two or three fresh blackberries at the top... enjoy!
