As puddings go, you would be hard-pressed to top a good Bramble Crumble. If you don’t have the ingredients, or time, to make the full-blown dessert, why not just give the Bramble Cocktail a try. All the taste with very little of the washing up, result!
There are plenty of Blackberry Cocktail recipes on the internet, we’ve chosen this one from Delish as the starting point for our Hot Cocktail version.
Did you know that Blackberries are members of the Rose family, Rosaceae? Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae. It includes many edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips and almonds. It’s amazing what Wikipedia can tell you.

Lucy’s Top Tip: If you are after a more ‘ginny’ cocktail, just double the gin content and use 25ml of blackberry syrup or freshly mashed blackberries, as in our Blackberry Lemon Smash recipe.
