Apple Bramble – A Fresh Irish Twist on a Classic Cocktail
The Apple Bramble is a refined Irish twist on the classic Bramble cocktail, combining crisp apple character with deep berry richness and fresh citrus. Inspired by the original Bramble’s balance of fruit and acidity, this version brings a lighter, fresher profile while retaining its signature depth.
Made with Symphonia Apple, fresh lemon juice and a touch of crème de mûre, the Apple Bramble layers bright orchard fruit with dark blackberry notes. Served over crushed ice, it’s cooling, vibrant and beautifully balanced, fruity without being overly sweet, fresh without losing complexity.
Elegant yet approachable, the Apple Bramble is a cocktail that works just as well for relaxed afternoons as it does for evening sipping.
