HOW DO I MAKE A BRAMBLE?

This cocktail is really easy to make!

First, fill your chosen glass with crushed ice and set to one side. Add cubed ice to your cocktail shaker followed by 50ml of gin, 25ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 12.5ml of simple sugar syrup. Shake until cold and then strain into your glass. Top up the ice if needed and then drizzle the Creme de Mure over so it 'bleeds' into the cocktail. Finish by then garnishing with a slice of lemon and the fresh blackberries.

Told you it was easy!

WHAT GIN DO YOU RECOMMENDED TO MAKE A BRAMBLE?

A classic London Dry gin is perfect for a Bramble.

We recommend our Stockport Gin Original Edition for this cocktail. It works perfectly as it is a London Dry Gin distilled with lemon peel, so it complements the Bramble really well.
