Refreshing Bramble Punch

Transport your taste buds to a summer garden party with this vibrant and refreshing Bramble Punch!

With the invigorating mint and bubbly club soda, this punch is not just a drink; it's a celebration in a glass. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or just a sunny afternoon, the Bramble Punch is a modern twist on a classic gin cocktail that dates back to the 1980s in London.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup, plus extra for garnish
Ice cubes
as needed
Club soda
2 cups
Gin
1 1/2 cups
Simple syrup
1/2 cup
Lemon juice
1/2 cup, freshly squeezed
Blackberries
2 cups, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by making the blackberry puree: In a blender, combine the blackberries, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove any seeds, pressing down with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the strained blackberry mixture with gin and club soda. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the club soda retains its fizz.
  4. Fill individual glasses with ice cubes, then pour the Bramble Punch over the ice, filling each glass about three-quarters full.
  5. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a few whole blackberries for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!

Tips

  • 💡 For a non-alcoholic version, simply replace gin with additional club soda for a sparkling mocktail.
  • 💡 Experiment with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 Add a splash of elderflower liqueur for an extra layer of floral notes!
