The Bramble Twist

The Bramble Twist

  • 1-2 serves

  • 3 minutes

The classic Bramble is usually a sharp, high-acid drink. This version is different. By swapping out some of the traditional citrus for Myrlèmon, we’ve softened the edges. The organic sugarcane base acts as a bridge between the botanical gin and the deep raspberry of the Chambord, turning a "tart" drink into something velvety and integrated. It’s rich, fruit-forward, and incredibly smooth.

Ingredients

30ml Botanical Gin
20ml Chambord (Black Raspberry Liqueur)
30ml Myrlèmon
To Top

Chilled Soda Water

Garnish

  • A fresh blackberry and a lemon myrtle leaf.

The Serve

  1. The Glass: Grab a rocks glass and fill it with crushed ice. The texture of the crushed ice is important here—it keeps the drink cold and helps the liqueur "bleed" through the glass.

  2. The Build: Pour the gin and the Myrlèmon directly over the ice.

  3. The Bleed: Drizzle the Chambord over the top. Don't stir yet—watch as the dark purple liqueur slowly works its way down through the ice.

  4. The Lift: Top with a splash of soda and give it one gentle, quick stir just to bring the flavors together.

  5. The Garnish: Thread a fresh blackberry onto a pick or drop it on top with a fresh lemon myrtle leaf.

The Experience

  • The Visual: It’s a beautiful drink to look at. The contrast between the clear ice and the deep berry "bleed" looks like a coastal sunset in a glass.

  • The Scent: You get the piney, herbal notes of the gin and the bright myrtle first, followed by the sweet, jammy aroma of the berries.

  • The Texture: It feels remarkably soft on the palate. The crushed ice makes it incredibly refreshing, while the essential oils in the Myrlèmon give the finish a weight and silkiness that lingers.

Botanical, berry-rich, and perfectly rounded.
