In the series

Turkey and the Wolf is the kind of restaurant that names a cocktail something this irreverent and means it — bright, bitter, a little silly, and exactly the right match for a menu that reworks fast-food and gas-station classics into serious, delicious food. It's the loosest, funniest stop on Phil's New Orleans day.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Campari
1/2 oz blackberry syrup
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
Soda water, to top
Lime wheel, to garnish

Method

To make the blackberry syrup, simmer equal parts blackberries, sugar, and water for 10 minutes, then strain and cool.
Shake the gin, Campari, blackberry syrup, and lime juice with ice.
Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass and top with a splash of soda water.
Garnish with a lime wheel.
