Blackberry Bramble Ingredients
- Gin: The botanical base of the cocktail – light, crisp, and perfect for summer
- Lemon Juice: Fresh-squeezed for a bright, citrusy balance
- Blackberry Simple Syrup: Sweet, fruity, and adds a gorgeous deep color to the drink
Homemade Blackberry Simple Syrup
- Water: Helps dissolve the sugar and simmer the berries
- Organic Cane Sugar: Adds sweetness and richness to the syrup
- Blackberries: Bursting with flavor and color – cook them down to infuse the syrup with fresh berry goodness
How To Make
- Make the simple syrup in a saucepan over low heat, melt the sugar into the water. Lightly muddle the blackberries in a shallow dish, then pour the warm syrup over them. Let it sit for a few hours to infuse, strain out the berries, and store the syrup in a sealed bottle in the fridge
- Next combine the gin and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice.
- Shake for 30 seconds, then strain into an ice filled glass.
- Pour the blackberry syrup over the top and stir.
Recipe Tips
Shake your gin cocktail in a shaker with ice until the shaker is completely cold.
Use a low heat to cook the simple syrup or the mix will go hard.
Store your remaining simple syrup in the fridge – lasts a week.
Garnish with a blackberry and slice of lime.
