Wild Blackberry & Lime Bramble
Prep Time:
5 minutes
About the recipe
little batch Wild Blackberry Syrup is made with blackberries gathered from the hedgerows on our daily walks – all picked within three miles of our home in rural Gloucestershire.
This mocktail is inspired by the traditional Bramble cocktail, which uses gin and crème de mûre: but a traditional Bramble is usually a short drink, like a sour.
To transform this into a cocktail, just add a measure of gin or vodka.
You can play with around with volumes of syrup, ginger ale and lime to suit your own tastes. If you like a stronger taste of lime, you could also try replacing the ginger ale and soda water with Fever Tree’s Mexican Lime Soda.
