Christmas Cocktails – Bramble

The Scottish Bramble!

This is a famous and classic cocktail which we’ve given you the option of using two gins, our original Avva Scottish Craft Gin OR Avva Pink Scottish Craft Gin.

 

The Avva Pink Craft Gin is created with an infusion of Scottish Raspberries which we source locally from Wester Hardmuir Fruit Farm, Nairn.  The recipe is noted below, take your Craft Gin, Lemon juice & sugar syrup and shake with a handful of ice. This is then strained into a glass of crushed ice.

 

When shaking cocktails you always use fresh ice and never use the ice from the shaker for serving.  The ice from the shaker is to chill then drink ahead of serving.

We also use Blackcurrant Craft Gin Liqueur, with the blackcurrants coming from Wester Hardmuir, Nairn, which you drizzle the liqueur over the crushed ice.

 

To make this a more festive flavour simply change from plain sugar syrup to a spiced version
(see our previousblog on Spiced Pear Fizz) Fresh lemon juice ensures that the mix isn’t overly sweet.

 

If you are planning to have cocktails over the festivities (we cant wait to pour ours!) we highly recommend batching up some items
like sugar syrup and freezing fresh juices such as lemon & lime.

 

Finally to top off your cocktail add a slice of lemon and fresh thyme as garnish.
