This is a quick and easy cocktail that you can make from homemade blackberry liqueur. If you plan to make blackberry liqueur and give it away as a gift, then you can include this recipe. This drink recipe uses simple syrup, the recipe for which can be found on the Bar Mixers page. Note: You can use 4 tsp of sugar if you don’t have simple syrup, but the Bramble is best made with simple syrup.
Bramble
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (or 4 tsp sugar)
- 1/2 oz Blackberry Liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz Gin
- 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
Add simple syrup, blackberry liqueur, Gin and lemon juice to a glass tumbler. Add crushed ice, then stir and garnish with lemon slice and 2 blackberries. Serve with two small straws. For best results use fresh squeezed lemon juice. Alternately: for a more professional "bartender" version: add simple syrup, blackberry liqueur, Gin and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake. Strain into a glass tumbler over ice cubes (the reason being that you shake cocktails made with fruit ingredients and stir cocktails made with pure spirits).
Note: Other recipes call for the Bramble to be made with more lemon juice (1 – 1 1/2 oz). If you prefer a more sour version of the the Bramble, then you can make it with more lemon juice.
