Step-by-Step Instructions for Orc Draught
  1. Begin by placing four fresh blackberries into a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to crush the berries gently until their juices are released, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Next, pour in 1 ounce of cinnamon whiskey, following it with 1 ounce of blackberry liqueur. Then, add ½ ounce of Fernet-Branca and finally squeeze in ½ ounce of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice and securely close the lid. Vigorously shake the mixture for about 10 to 15 seconds.
  4. Using a fine sieve, pour the contents from the shaker into a chilled coupe or Nick and Nora glass.
  5. To finish, take a couple of additional fresh blackberries and place them gently on top of your cocktail as a garnish. Serve immediately.
