If you’re craving a cocktail that’s sweet, tangy, and bursting with flavor, look no further than this refreshed Raspberry Bramble. It’s a bright twist on the beloved gin classic, blending fresh raspberries, tart lemon juice, and a dash of sweetness to create a drink that both delights and dazzles. Meet your new favorite happy-hour companion: the Sparkling Raspberry Rose Bramble.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin (London dry or your favorite variety)
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ ounce raspberry liqueur or Chambord
- ½ ounce simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 4 fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- Splash of sparkling rosé (optional, but highly recommended)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by filling a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and 3 of your fresh raspberries. Give the mixture a good, vigorous shake—this helps incorporate the raspberries into the cocktail, ridding you of the need for extra syrups or messy muddling.
Next, strain the rosy concoction into a short glass filled with crushed ice. Gently drizzle the raspberry liqueur on top, allowing it to trickle down and give the drink a beautiful ombré effect. Carefully top with a splash of sparkling rosé for a bit of effervescence.
Finally, drop in one last fresh raspberry and a twist of lemon zest, if you like a hint of citrus aroma. Serve immediately, and let your guests marvel at the jewel-toned display.
This sparkling take on the Raspberry Bramble is a treat for anyone who loves fruity, light cocktails. Thanks to the fresh raspberries and lemon juice, it has a delightful, tangy zip that doesn’t overwhelm. If you’re watching your sugar intake, you can dial back on the simple syrup or swap in a sugar-free syrup alternative. You can also experiment with vodka instead of gin or add a few fresh basil leaves for a herbal note. No matter how you make it, this cocktail is guaranteed to bring a burst of delightful berry flavor to any gathering.
