I don't know about you, but when I first heard about the new "BlackBerry Bold," I thought, "That's not a handheld computer, that's a cocktail." It's just taken me a few days to find out exactly what kind of cocktail it is.
To find the true meaning of BlackBerry Bold, I went to the heart of BlackBerry country: the Campbell Apartment, a super-swank New York bar that's embedded in Grand Central Station. (Photo of swankness at left.) The Campbell Apartment serves a heavily business-commuter crowd, with lots of Wall Street guys and lawyers coming in and out every day from Westchester and Connecticut - in other words, BlackBerry's core market. If anybody knew what would make a true BlackBerry Bold, it would be the bartenders there.
After a few days of experimenting with various concoctions, they came through. So stop by and ask for one, or make it yourself. Alas, I'm on a business trip right now and can't swing by, but I'd love to hear in the comments what people think of the BlackBerry Bold. Or, do you think you can do better than the experts at designing this drink?
Drink recipe after the jump.

1 oz Brandy
1 oz Kahlua
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1 blackberry
Muddle the blackberry in the lime juice.
Add remaining ingredients with ice and shake well.
