Step-by-step
- First, make the chocolate liquor. Put 150ml water in a saucepan along with the sugar and bring to a simmer. Allow to rest for 2 minutes, then pour over the chocolate pieces in a bowl. Whisk well and leave to cool thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, place 2 martini glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to get the frosted effect.
- In a cocktail shaker or jug, place the lemon juice, gin, Creme de Mures and 6 of the blackberries. Muddle and mix well until the blackberries burst slightly.
- Place a pyramid of crushed ice into each glass and pour over the blackberry mixture. Now top up each glass with the chocolate liquor, then place a blackberry and a piece of dark chocolate on top of each ice pyramid.
