Named for the main character in The Secret Garden, this iced beauty combines the aesthetics of the Fix and the Bramble in a charming presentation. The malty genever base provides a canvas for the classic English flavors of rhubarb, ginger, and blackberry.

INGREDIENTS

1½ oz. genever
¾ oz. rhubarb shrub
¾ oz. ginger syrup
¾ oz. lemon juice
4 drops saline solution
½ oz. crème de mûre, for float

Garnish: mint bouquet and blackberry on pick

ABV LEVEL

Combine all but crème de mûre in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for 5-7 seconds. Strain drink into a double rocks or footed glass and top with pebble ice. Pour ½ oz. crème de mûre on top. (Note: it is supposed to sink!) Add a straw and garnish with a mint bouquet and blackberry on a pick.
