Blackberry Royal Recipe

This cocktail from The Spotted Pig is more complex than it looks—this is a cocktail drinker's cocktail, not a syrupy Kir Royale.

Ingredients
- For the blackberry shrub:
- 2 3/4 cups blackberries
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- several sprigs of rosemary

- Cava, to top off drink
Directions

For the blackberry shrub: In a medium saucepan, cook blackberries with water and sugar on low heat until blackberries soften. Strain and discard solids. Return juice to the pan, add balsamic vinegar and rosemary. Bring to a slow boil. Let cool, then remove rosemary and chill shrub.
