I don’t know about you, but as soon as the weather warms up even a little, my mind starts going to gin. It’s one of those spirits that lends itself particularly well to fresh and floral flavours and so, to me, spring is the perfect time to play with gin-based cocktail recipes.
If you too are a gin fan looking for some fun cocktail recipes to try out, you’re in luck because the team at Bombay Sapphire has gone ahead and shared a selection of spring-inspired cocktails using the Bombay Bramble gin.
This particular type of gin is infused with fresh blackberries and raspberries and although it kind of looks like a bottle of cordial, the spirit is completely free of artificial flavours, colours or added sugar. It’s a delicate fruit infusion, and it works incredibly well with simple, crisp flavours. I know – I’ve tried it out.
Anyway, if this weekend sees you keen to reach for a berry-based cocktail, here are a few recipes to keep in mind.
