It is rare that we highlight “build in glass” cocktails. Part of the fun of home bartending is getting to use the tools! Mixing Glass, Boston Shaker, Lewis Bag and Mallet!! They are all fun, and make you feel like a pro. But sometimes it’s nice to just throw something together in the glass, which brings us to the Chambord Bramble.
Chambord is a raspberry liqueur that comes in a very distinct bottle. A quick search for most popular drinks made with it led us directly to the Bramble. This is a Gin cocktail, and generally calls for London Dry. But here at the Runaway Anchor, we tend to lean on the smoother gins of Plymouth and Old Tom, and that’s no different here. The Gin Bramble also uses a different liqueur, Creme de Muir which is not as sweet as Chambord. Use whatever gin you like best for this one though, no judgement!
As the days get colder, take one more sip of summer in a glass, and bonus, you won’t have much to clean up afterwards!
Cheers!
