Raspberry Bramble with Raspberry Flavour Pearls

Raspberry Bramble is a refreshing Gin based Cocktail that’s a breeze to make. The addition of the fresh Raspberry and Raspberry Flavour Pearls garnish adds a wonderful flavour/texture and talking point. I love a garnish that is actually delicious to eat too! We prepared the Gin, syrup and Lemon base in a jug and kept it chilled. A plate of pre-skewered Raspberries too. Less fussing at the last minute then!

*A great recipe to adapt too. If you prefer a different fruit and Flavour Pearl just swap out the Chambord for another liqueur. eg: fresh Strawberries and Strawberry Flavour Pearls and your favourite Strawberry liqueur, Mandarin segments and Tangerine Flavour Pearls with a Mandarin liqueur. You get the idea!

What you’ll need – for 1 serve, just multiply accordingly

• 50 ml Gin
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 15 ml Simple Syrup (recipe below)
• 15 ml Chambord
• Ice
• Toothpicks – long enough to rest on your glass (mine were from Kmart)
• Fresh Raspberries – 2 per glass
• Raspberry Flavour Pearls
• Mint – optional

To do

Lets prepare the Simple Syrup first. This can be stored in the fridge for a couple of weeks and is an ingredient in many delicious Cocktail recipes. Put 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup Sugar into a small pot and bring to the boil. Done! Refrigerate until required.

Next

Into a jug if making multiple serves – add the Gin, Lemon Juice and Syrup. Refrigerate until required. If just making one or two, add the ingredients into a shaker with a little Ice and give it a shake to combine and chill. Add a couple of fresh Raspberries onto your toothpicks.

To serve

I put mine directly onto a serving tray. Add a couple of Ice Cubes into each glass. Spoon the Raspberry Flavour Pearls into a dish. Add your dish of Raspberry garnish skewers. At the table simply pour in a measure of Chambord to each glass. Top with the Gin mix. Add the Raspberry garnish skewer and top with a spoonful of Raspberry Flavour Pearls.

Cheers 🍸

Until next time
