The Ice Makes the Drink! 🧊
We’ve reached the final instalment of our Maidaid Ice Series and what a way to finish!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared four exclusive recipes created by TV’s Andy Clarke, each one demonstrating how different styles of ice can elevate your drinks in both flavour and presentation.
For our fourth and final drink, we present our very special version of the Bramble. A timeless classic, perfectly served over the right ice to enhance every sip🍸
Ingredients:
Crushed / Granular ice
2 parts Brandy
2 parts Gin
1 part Lemon juice
1 part Simple sugar syrup
Crème de Mûre
Method:
1. In an empty cocktail shaker, combine 2 parts brandy, 2 parts gin, 1 part lemon juice, and 1 part sugar syrup.
2. Add ice to the shaker, seal it, and shake well for about 20 seconds
3. Fill a lowball/tumbler glass with crushed or granular ice.
4. Strain the shaken cocktail mixture over the crushed ice in the glass.
5. For a bit of "theatre," gently pour the Crème de Mûre over the top of the drink, allowing it to bleed down through the crushed ice.
6. Skewer three fresh blackberries on a cocktail stick, place them across the glass, and tuck in a fresh sprig of mint.
From cocktails to coffee, one thing remains the same, the right ice can transform your drink.
