Bramble Gin Liqueur

Much like Sipsmith, the Bramble cocktail was born in London. This classic tipple was invented by late bartender Dick Bradsell, who’s often credited with single-handedly reviving London’s cocktail scene. Inspired by Bradsell’s fond memories of blackberry picking on The Isle of Wight as a child, this English cocktail is made using London Dry Gin at the base with a drizzle of Crème de Mûre. For our Bramble Gin Liqueur, we used a technique not too dissimilar from how we make our Sloe Gin. We rested freshly picked blackberries on a base of our London Dry Gin, and once we were happy with the flavour profile, we strained the fruit and added some sugar to enhance the sweetness of the berries. Sensational in a hipflask on a frosty dog walk or top with Prosecco for a festive tipple.
