Blackberry Bramble Twist Cocktail
Ingredients (for 1 serving):
45ml Ink Gin
20ml Elderflower liqueur (like St-Germain)
10ml rose syrup
20ml Fresh lemon juice
Blackberry foam (for topping)
Method:
Add the Ink Gin, elderflower liqueur, rose syrup, and fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake well to chill.
Strain the mixture into your choice of glass (a rocks glass or coupe works perfectly).
Top with a generous layer of blackberry foam.
Optional garnish: Fresh blackberries or a sprig of mint for that finishing touch.
How to make the Blackberry Foam (prep for 2 servings):
100g Fresh blackberries
2 teaspoons Sugar (or to taste)
30ml Aquafaba (chickpea water) or egg whites (depending on preference)
1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional, for extra tartness)
Method for Foam:
Blend the blackberries with the sugar until smooth.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp, leaving just the juice.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the aquafaba (or egg whites) until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the blackberry juice into the whipped aquafaba/egg whites until well combined.
Spoon or pour the foam generously on top of the cocktail.
This recipe gives you a smooth, floral drink with a touch of tartness from the lemon and the beautiful deep purple foam on top. Perfect for a sophisticated twist on a classic!
