First, you make a chile-blackberry syrup (drop those raised eyebrows; it tastes very nice, really). The syrup is sweet and berry-ish, and has a smoky, spicy note, but it's not hot at all.
I think the chile-blackberry syrup recipe will be up shortly on epicurious.com so I'm not going to post it now (I will post it if they don't get it up there).
The recipe called for bourbon or rye. In the spirit of doing complete investigatons for our readers (ah, is there anything we won't do for you?), we made both versions and preferred the one with rye.

Mix together in a shaker or glass:
- 3 parts bourbon or rye
