Bison Grass Gin 41.5% abv 70cl

Ingredients

  • 50ml Three Wrens Bison Grass Gin
  • 15ml Blackberry liqueur (e.g. crème de mûre)
  • 20ml Fresh lemon juice
  • 10ml Sugar syrup (1:1 ratio sugar to water)
  • 2 dashes Celery bitters (optional, but adds an earthy depth)
  • Fresh blackberries (3-4)
  • A small sprig of rosemary (for garnish)
  • Crushed ice

Step-by-Step

  1. Muddle the berries:
    In the base of a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh blackberries to release their juice.
  2. Build the cocktail:
    Add the Three Wrens Bison Grass Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and celery bitters (if using) to the shaker.
  3. Shake it down:
    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until nicely chilled.
  4. Prepare your glass:
    Fill a rocks glass (or a short tumbler) with crushed ice, right to the brim.
  5. Strain:
    Fine strain the cocktail over the crushed ice in the glass.
  6. Add the liqueur:
    Slowly drizzle the blackberry liqueur over the top – it will trickle through the crushed ice like forest undergrowth, creating that classic “bramble” effect.
  7. Garnish:
    Garnish with a couple of fresh blackberries and a sprig of rosemary. For extra forest magic, gently slap the rosemary between your hands before placing it in the drink – this releases its oils and aroma.
