Blackberry Mint Bramble

The other day I was stocking up on berries, my summer snack obsession, and admiring the blackberries. Such an unusual but beautiful fruit and I've always loved the color. I was turning over potential recipes in my head when I remembered the Bramble. It's a sweet gin based drink that's typically made with blackberry liqueur but I always prefer to use fresh fruit anyway.

So the blackberries came home with me along with a fragrant bouquet of fresh mint. And before long I was sipping this stunning drink and making mental plans to buy more blackberries. Cheers!
