Additional Information
- Activated charcoal can interfere with some medications; omit it if needed and the drink will still be balanced, just lighter in color.
- For a sweeter version, add 1/4 fl oz simple syrup or reduce the lime juice slightly.
- A rich, dark blackberry syrup gives the deepest color and best body.
