Rico Makes a Classic Bramble & Bramble Variation with Absolut Wild Berri! 

In the latest episode of ‘Absolut Drinks with Rico’, Ricardo “Rico” Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador, shows you how to make a Bonafide British cocktail classic, the Bramble.

Created in London in 1984 by legendary London bartender Dick Bradsell who also invented the Espresso Martini, this modern classic is a British summer essential. However, the Bramble also works wonderfully during the Holiday season thanks to its delicious Blackberry flavors.

What Does a Bramble Cocktail Taste Like?

One of Rico’s favorite drinks, the Bramble cocktail is a tantalizing mix of sweet, tangy, sour, and fruity flavors.

The Bramble blends the delightful floral notes of Gin with the delicious Blackberry flavors from the Blackberry Liqueur, perfectly balanced by Sugar and Lemon Juice.

Well-balanced, fruity, elegant and extremely drinkable, let’s just say the Bramble never disappoints.

A Bramble Variation with Vodka

Of course, no episode of Absolut Drinks with Rico is ever complete without Rico making a vodka variation and answering the question, ‘Will It Vodka?’.

For this episode, Rico creates the Wild Berri Bramble – a Bramble variation that uses Absolut Wild Berri Vodka.

The Wild Berri Bramble follows the exact same recipe for a classic Bramble but substitutes the Gin for Absolut Wild Berri and is garnished with a Lemon half-moon instead of Lemon Zest. Absolut Wild Berri has the natural taste of freshly picked blueberries, blackberries and wild strawberries. Can you have too much berry? No, you cannot.

So, if you love berries and want to accentuate the Blackberry flavors of your Bramble, you’ve got to try mixing this one.

Here’s to a Merry Berry Holiday!
