Blackberry Bramble Cocktail Recipe

When berry season isย in full swing, this blackberry bramble cocktail recipe is a must-make. This recipe is the sultry cousin to the original that we’ve made with pomegranate liqueur and served with a rosemary sprig for an added level of flavor. Still, hopefully, it’ll help on my quest to make a summer cocktail we can all appreciate.ย

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

The blackberry bramble cocktail recipe is an underappreciated cocktail. It was created in London in the 80s (some purists claim it dates back to the Victorian ages), but it never seemed to make its mark, and I don’t understand why.

The classic version or a blackberry bramble cocktail is similar to the gin-lovers Kir Royale (crรจme de cassis with gin and citrus), and it’s served over a generous amount of crushed ice, making it feel like a grown-up version of shave ice. This blackberry pomegranate cocktail is a twist on that classic, thanks to the addition of pomegranate liqueur. It provides a tart balance to the cocktail, and we’re so here for it!

Blackberry Bramble Cocktail Recipe Ingredients

These are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this blackberry bramble cocktail recipe:

  • Ice – to keep things cool and to dilute the liquor just the right amount!
  • Fresh blackberries –ย the key ingredients in this classic cocktail
  • Gin – or vodka, if that’s more your style
  • Pama pomegranate liqueur –ย or another pomegranate liqueur
  • Honey or simple syrup –ย or even a maple syrup if that’s your deal
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice –ย to balance out the sweetness

How To Make This Recipe

These are the instructions that you’ll need to follow to make this blackberry bramble cocktail recipe:

  1. Make the Crushed Ice: Wrap a few handfuls of ice cubes in a clean towel or ice crusher bag and, using a mallet, rolling pin, or muddler, tap until all the ice is broken up and crushed.
  2. Shakeย the Cocktail: Fill an old-fashioned glass halfway with ice (not crushed ice) and water, and set aside to chill. Place the honey and all but one berry in a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, gently crush the berries to release their juices.
    Add the gin, pomegranate liqueur, and juice, and fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes (not the crushed ice). Close and shake until well chilled and the shaker is frosted, about 10 to 20 shakes.
  3. Serve The Bramble: Fill an old-fashioned glass with crushed ice. Strain the cocktail over crushed ice, skewer the remaining berry on a rosemary sprig, garnish the drink, and serve.
