Jamie Oliver Bramble Cocktail Recipe

Jamie Oliver Bramble Cocktail

The Bramble cocktail is a gin-based drink with a zesty lemon base, complemented by the sweetness of crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur). It’s a classic cocktail that is visually stunning, with its characteristic swirling effect as the liqueur blends into the drink.

Ingredients

  • Gin: 50ml (1¾ oz).
  • Fresh lemon juice: 25ml (1 oz).
  • Simple syrup: 15ml (½ oz).
  • Crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur): 15ml (½ oz).
  • Ice: Crushed, for serving.
  • Blackberries: Fresh, for garnish.
  • Lemon slice or twist: For garnish.

Instructions

Step 1: Fill the shaker

Add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Step 2: Prepare the glass

Fill a rock glass or tumbler with crushed ice.

Step 3: Strain the cocktail

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the crushed ice.

Step 4: Add the blackberry liqueur

Slowly drizzle the crème de mûre over the drink. It will sink and swirl, creating the signature layered effect of the Bramble cocktail.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Garnish with fresh blackberries and a lemon slice or twist. Serve immediately with a straw or bar spoon for optional stirring.
