-18%Pour this and it comes out magenta, which already tells you the night just got more interesting. But here's the twist: it's not sweet. Bombay Bramble is real gin with real berries folded in, so you get tart blackberry and raspberry up front and proper juniper backbone underneath. Build it tall with tonic and ice and you've got the easiest crowd-pleaser in the fridge, whether it's a Friday on the balcony or a slow Sunday that needs a little colour.
First sniff is jammy: redcurrant and tart wild berries, like raspberry preserve before the sugar. Then you taste it and the trick reveals itself. It's tart, almost dry, with the gin standing right there. Cranberry and dark berry up top, then juniper, coriander and a twist of lemon zest rolling through. The finish dries out with a hint of peppery spice and a last whisper of raspberry. It reads as a real gin wearing berries, not a fruit cordial. That's the whole point.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Bombay Sapphire in England, the crew known for vapour-infusing their gin (the spirit rises through the botanicals as a vapour rather than being boiled with them). For Bramble they take that classic Bombay gin and its ten botanicals, then infuse it with freshly picked blackberries and raspberries. The killer detail: that vivid magenta isn't dye. It comes from black carrot and blackcurrant, and the sweetness you sense is only the fruit. No sugar added after.
