Experience the sophisticated complexity of the Bramblin’ Man. This stunning gin cocktail elevates Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin with a vibrant blackberry cordial, bright lemon, and a delicate kiss of crème de violette. Finished with a splash of prosecco, its floral and bright profile makes it the ultimate refreshing serve.
Prep: Gather all spirits, liqueurs, cordials, fresh citrus juice, and aromatic bitters. Carefully measure all ingredients according to the recipe specifications, ensuring the thyme sprig is ready for the final touch.
Mix: Combine the gin, blackberry cordial, lemon juice, crème de violette, absinthe, and peach bitters into a cocktail shaker. Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker to prepare for proper chilling and dilution.
Shake: Secure the lid and vigorously shake the mixture until the exterior of the shaker is thoroughly chilled, ensuring the ingredients are perfectly blended and the liquid is properly aerated.
Serve: Using a fine mesh strainer, double strain the chilled mixture directly into a chilled coupe glass. Gently top the contents of the glass with the measured portion of prosecco, adding effervescence.
Garnish: Finish the cocktail by placing the fresh sprig of thyme directly into the drink, releasing a final, herbaceous aroma to complement the floral notes.
