Scottish Bramble
Probably my favourite gin cocktail, the Bramble is a modern-classic. It is better suited to the warmer months when blackberries are in season, although I drink it year-round. It’s a riff on the classic Gin Sour template which, just by adding one ingredient, completely alters the flavour profile. It’s not difficult to make either.
