The Rambler – A Bramble Cocktail

Share this...

Last Updated on October 6, 2022 by The Noms

A tart and sweet combo of whiskey blackberry, this is a very refreshing twist on the Bramble Cocktail.

We love the combination of blackberries and bourbon, and when a surplus of blackberries from a brunch found their way into our possession, it was only a matter of time before they ended up in a drink. The Rambler is pleasantly tart and refreshing, the blackberries and lemon juice giving a tart bite. Fresh squeezed orange juice adds a bit of sweetness that helped compliment the oak and vanilla notes of the bourbon, along with a dash of simple syrup.

What are Muddled Blackberries?

The best way to make muddled blackberries are to use a muddler at the bottom of a shaker or mixing glass to mash the blackberries down. This way expresses the juices and separates the seeds from the pulp and juices for this whiskey blackberry cocktail.
