Are you ready to embark on a delicious adventure into the world of homemade bramble gin? Get ready, because I’m about to take you on a step-by-step journey through the process of creating your very own batch of this tasty, fruity spirit. And don’t worry, it’s much easier than you might think!

First things first, let’s talk ingredients. To make bramble gin, you’ll need the following:
– 500g of fresh blackberries
– 250g of fresh raspberries
– 200g of caster sugar
– 1 liter of good quality gin
– A large, clean jar with a tight-fitting lid

Now that you’ve got your ingredients assembled, it’s time to get down to business. Here’s how to make your very own bramble gin:

1. Start by thoroughly washing the blackberries and raspberries, then place them in a large bowl. Use a fork to lightly crush the berries, releasing their delicious juices.

2. Once the berries are crushed, transfer them to the clean jar. Add the caster sugar and give everything a good stir, ensuring that the berries are well coated in sugar.

3. Now it’s time to add the gin. Pour the entire liter of gin into the jar, covering the berries and sugar completely. Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to mix everything together.

4. After shaking, find a cool, dark place to store your jar of bramble gin. Let it sit for at least two weeks, shaking the jar gently every day to help the flavors meld together.

5. After two weeks have passed, it’s time to strain the bramble gin. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the berries, pressing down gently to extract as much liquid as possible.

6. Once strained, pour the bramble gin into a clean, airtight bottle and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.

And there you have it – your very own homemade bramble gin! Whether you sip it neat, mix it into a cocktail, or give it as a thoughtful gift, this delicious spirit is sure to bring a smile to your face. So go ahead, grab your ingredients and get started on your bramble gin adventure today. Cheers!
