Rosemary bramble recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
Bold and aromatic rosemary is a wonderful ingredient in cocktails, lending notes of pine, citrus and pepper. Here we've teamed it with another aromatic – gin, plus lots of tangy, juicy blackberries. The result is a refreshing, fruity long drink for two or multiply quantities for parties and entertaining; see tip, below.

Method
- Put the sugar and 40ml water in a pan with one of the rosemary sprigs. Dissolve the sugar over a low heat, then simmer gently for 3 mins. Remove from the heat, then leave to cool for 30 mins; discard the rosemary sprig.
- Add the cooled syrup to a cocktail shaker or glass. Crush the blackberries to a rough purée and add to the shaker with the lemon juice, gin and a large handful of ice. Shake or stir well for 5-10 secs to combine, then strain into glasses filled with ice; top up with the tonic or soda water. Garnish each with a fresh rosemary sprig and an extra blackberry.
- Tip: The rosemary-infused syrup can be easily doubled or tripled; it’ll keep for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Fancy a flavour twist? Switch the gin for tequila and the lemon juice for lime.
