Yes. Chambord, crème de cassis, or blackberry liqueur work as substitutes, though they vary in sweetness and alcohol content.
Tradition favors serving it up (chilled and strained into a coupe), but on the rocks is also acceptable.
A standard 80-proof bourbon like Old Mr. Boston is ideal; avoid high-proof bottlings that will overpower the vermouth and blackberry.
Use fresh lemon juice and measure carefully. The blackberry brandy and vermouth both add sweetness, so avoid adding simple syrup.
A lemon twist or cherry complements the blackberry and bourbon notes without overpowering the drink.
