Brambling Spruce
Recipe:
1 oz 50 Fathoms Gin
1oz House-made Blackberry Liqueur (Creme de Mure)
.5 oz Spruce Tip Syrup
.5 oz Lemon Juice
Add all ingredients to a mixing tin. Shake and strain into your rocks glass. Crushed ice is typically used in brambles. We use a Lewis
bag to crush our ice and then add it to the drink. Garnish with a blackberry and lemon twist
To make the spruce tip syrup:
2 cups of Water
1 cup of Sugar
.5 cup of Spruce Tips
Dissolve the sugar in water over medium heat. Add spruce tips and let simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain through
fine mesh filter to remove all plant material.
To make blackberry liqueur:
Add 2 6 oz packages of blackberries to a 750ml bottle of Icy Strait Vodka. Let it infuse for 3 to 5 days, smashing the blackberries halfway through their infusion to release all of the flavor. Strain infusion through a fine mesh filter to remove all plant material and you’ll be left with a light purple vodka. Add 3 cups of simple syrup to your mixture and mix well to incorporate. You’ll be left with roughly 2 750ml bottles of Blackberry Liqueur!
