Istruzioni

Make the blackberry-shiso syrup : Place blackberries and sugar in a large bowl; stir and slightly mash until berries are broken down and release their liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shiso leaves, and lightly muddle until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to muddle too much, or the leaves will turn bitter.)

Let blackberry and shiso mixture stand, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a medium bowl or measuring cup; discard solids. Cover and refrigerate syrup until ready to use.

Make the spritz: Slap shiso leaves between the palms of your hands to release their flavor; place leaves in bottom of a stemless wineglass, and fill with ice.

Add wine, vermouth, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon blackberry-shiso syrup; top with seltzer, and stir.

Garnish with fresh blackberries and a shiso leaf.
