Bramble Berry Punch Recipes

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Pour into a punch bowl; stir in remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Make the simple syrup: Combine the honey, ginger and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer until the honey dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 30 minutes to cool. Strain, and set aside.
• For the drink: Muddle the blackberries, lime juice and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the whiskey and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) simple syrup to the cocktail shaker (save the remaining simple syrup for another use). Add ice and shake to combine.
• Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice and top with club soda. Garnish with additional blackberries and mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Add the gin, lime juice, Rosemary Simple Syrup and blueberries to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
• Fill an 8- to 12-ounce glass with ice and strain the cocktail over the ice. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and a few blueberries.
• Add the sugar, rosemary sprigs and 1 cup water to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring regularly, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the rosemary is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and cool completely. Once cooled, remove and discard the rosemary sprigs.

Steps:

• Mix wine, apple, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, and brandy together in a pitcher; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir lemon-lime soda into wine mixture.

Steps:

• Shake the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker with a good handful of ice cubes then strain into a rocks glass full of crushed ice. Drizzle the crème de mure over the top so it 'bleeds' into the drink. Garnish with the lemon slice and blackberry, if using.3 TWISTSFresh fruit brambleThis drink is one to make when the hedgerows are groaning with ripe fruit. Start by muddling 6 blackberries in a rocks glass. Add 50ml gin, 25ml lemon juice, 25ml sugar syrup and fill the glass two thirds full with crushed ice. Mix with a long-handled spoon. Top with more crushed ice, a garnish and paper straws.Bramble royaleGo glam with your bramble by adding a splash of champagne to the mix. Just make the drink as normal but reduce the amount of crushed ice by about a third to leave room for the fizz. Then top with 25-50ml of champagne, mix gently, add a bit more crushed ice, garnish and serve.Peach sourThe classic 'sour' formula that the bramble sticks to is easy to adapt by switching out the liqueur. Try 12.5ml of crème de peche instead of crème de mure - it might not look quite as eye-catching as the bloodshot bramble but it will taste just as delicious.
