Equipment

  • Shaker: I love using it to mix everything well.
  • Strainer: This helps keep out any unwanted bits.
  • Jigger or measuring cup: Helps measure out the liquids.
  • Old-fashioned glass: That's the perfect size for serving.
  • Ice cubes: Large ones work best.

Ingredients

Gathering the ingredients is my favorite part! Here's what you'll need:

  • 2 oz gin: Choose one with a flavor you enjoy.
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice: It adds a tart kick.
  • 0.75 oz simple syrup: Sweetens the drink perfectly.
  • 0.5 oz blackberry liqueur: For that fruity touch.

Optional garnish: Fresh blackberries and a lemon slice make it look extra pretty. 🍋 They're more than just eye candy; they add a nice aroma, too. Always taste as you go to get the perfect balance.

Instructions

Now, let's make the Bramble! Follow these easy steps:

  • Fill the shaker with ice: It chills the drink fast.
  • Add gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup: Combine these in the shaker.
  • Shake well: I usually do it for about 15 seconds—shake it like you mean it! 💪
  • Strain into a glass with ice: Once mixed, pour it over fresh ice.
  • Drizzle with blackberry liqueur: Do this slowly to get that pretty layered look.

Garnish with blackberries and a lemon slice to finish. It's not just pleasing to the eye but also mouthwateringly delicious!

    Notes

    Here are a few tips to help make your Bramble pop:
    Fresh Lemon Juice: Always go for fresh juice for the best flavor.
    Simple Syrup: If needed, you can make it at home with equal parts sugar and water.
    Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak ingredients slightly to suit your taste buds.
