Tonight we tried an 'Allegheny Cocktail' on page 29 in our Bartender's Guide.
It was a good drink. I think it would have been better before dinner rather than the later time we actually had it. (We were visiting with neighbors and had a pizza with them beforehand).
The recipe:
1 oz Bourbon (Old Forester)
1 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Blackberry Brandy (LeRoux)
1 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice (Meyer)
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel on top.
This drink is a little tart, but good. It probably would be better with half as much lemon juice. I haven't used Blackberry Brandy that often but it does well in this drink.
Salud!
