The key to this drink is the spectacular berry marinade garnish.

Ingredients:

30ml

White Rum Agricole

20ml

Crème de Mure

5ml

Benedictine

15ml

Fresh Lime juice

50ml

Perrier water

Preparation:

Shake the first four ingredients well with ice and strain into a boca grande glass filled with crushed ice. Top with the Perrier and stir. Garnish with a spoon of the berry marinade and a mint sprig. Serve with straws.

The berry marinade
The berries can be a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and black and red raspberries. Wash all the berries and remove the green from the strawberries. Cut the strawberries into pieces the size of the smaller raspberries. Marinate all the berries for a couple hours in brandy Prefer VS Cognac, Cointreau and sugar, stirring occasionally. For each quart of berries use half an ounce of brandy, one ounce of Cointreau (or triple sec) and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
