Bramble On

“And though our health we drank a thousand times, it’s time to ramble on …” -Led Zeppelin

Inspired by Led Zeppelin’s classic rock song, Ramble On, here is the first in a series of Rocktails (cocktails that rock!) from Bloomery SweetShine! This one is based on the classic Bramble which features gin, fresh lemon, simple syrup, and blackberry liqueur. We’ve jazzed it up a bit by incorporating barrel aged gin, fresh blackberries and mint, and Ginger SweetShine.

Here’s what you need:

blackberries

fresh mint

1 oz fresh lemonade

1 1/2 oz barrel gin

1/2 oz Ginger SweetShine

crushed ice

candied ginger (optional)

Start by adding blackberries and mint to a short glass.

Add 1 oz lemonade.

Muddle.

Place ice on a towel.

‘

Beat it. Just beat it. Wait …. wrong song.

Crushed ice is very important to the recipe. It dilutes the cocktail a little quicker and makes it extra cold and refreshing.

Fill your glass until you have a dome of crushed ice.

Add 1 1/2 oz barrel aged gin, or any gin you prefer.

Top with 1/2 oz Ginger SweetShine.

Don’t forget this very important step, though. Shake well first!

Give it a stir and garnish with fresh mint, a lemon wheel, blackberries, and a piece of candied ginger (if desired).

SummerWine

Here it is, a drink slightly transformed … just a bit of a break from the norm.

What you need:

2 oz Cranberry Clementine SweetShine

2 oz lemonade

1 oz fruity red wine

fresh mint

Fill a glass with ice.

Pour 2 oz Cranberry Clementine SweetShine.

Gently pour 2 oz lemonade to create 2 layers of color.

Gently pour 1 oz fruity red wine to create 3 layers. It almost looks like a summer sunset, don’t you think?

Garnish with fresh mint.

Now enjoy!

Hard Lemonade Strawberry Tea

Strawberry Palmer Mar-tea-ni

We’re finishing Strawberry Month with another 1-2-3 cocktail. That’s right, only 3 ingredients in today’s masterpiece.

This is all you need:

2 oz Hard Lemonade SweetShine

2 oz sweet tea vodka

4 strawberries

Start with slicing your strawberries.

Strawberries and Hard Lemonade are a match made in (almost) Heaven!

Quarter the berries and put them in a mixing glass, mason jar, anything with a lid.

Add a little magic – 2 oz Hard Lemonade SweetShine

Muddle. If you don’t have a fancy gadget like this just use any blunt object like the back of a wooden spoon.

Now add 2 oz sweet tea vodka.

Can’t find such a thing? Substitute regular vodka + sweet tea. Easy.

Now add ice.

Cover and shake until ice cold.

The ice will dilute the drink a bit, which is what we want for this particular cocktail.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, or over ice if you prefer.

Garnish with a strawberry.
