Raspberry Bramble Mocktail

MEDIUM | FRUITY | SWEET

Eye catching deep red cocktail, perfectly poised between fruity, sour, sweet 

The Bramble is a modern classic created in London by bartender Dick Bradsell, named in honour of the blackberry bushes he used to forage from as a child. It's simple, elegant and wonderfully refreshing.

It's traditionally made using London dry gin, & blackberries. In this version we have chosen to use raspberries as our hero. Fresh raspberries are muddled into the cocktail shaker, providing a sweet and fruity flavour that gives this drink a beautiful deep red colour. The raspberries add a subtle tartness and slight floral notes that pairs well with the flavours of Banks Herbarium.

Tip

Vanilla Syrup is easy to make. You just need, equal parts of water and sugar. Heat in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Add a few drops of vanilla essence and flavour to your taste.

For a variation serve in a rocks glass with crushed ice. Have the glass prepped before you start. The way it dilutes and allows the flavours to slowly reveal themselves is what a Bramble is all about.
