Ford’s Bramble Tonic

“Ford’s Bramble Tonic refers to a bramble, which was a gin-based cocktail with lemon and blackberry liquor,” Brock Schulte says. “It also refers to President Gerald Ford’s drink of choice, the classic gin and tonic.”

Combine 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) of gin, 3/4 ounce (1 1/2 tablespoons) lemon juice, 1/2-ounce (1 tablespoon) simple syrup and 5 fresh blackberries in a cocktail shaker. Cover shaker and shake well. Pour over ice in a tumbler and top with tonic water. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

For a nonalcoholic version, serve blackberry-infused lemonade in a glass topped with tonic.
