We all love a blackberry and apple crumble here at Craft Gin Club HQ, and the Bramble is a classic cocktail that remains an evergreen favourite. So we thought - why not combine these two great recipes? Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you our apple and blackberry gin cocktail, our new Friday-night tipple of choice for autumn!

Apple & Blackberry Gin Cocktail

50ml gin
25ml crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur)
A good squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice
Apple juice, to top up
Soda water (optional)
A few mint sprigs

Combine the gin, crème de mûre and a few leaves of mint in a shaker glass full of ice, shake vigorously and strain into a glass. Add a squeeze of lemon, then top up with apple juice (or half juice to half soda water, if you prefer). Garnish with a sprig of mint and a blackberry to serve.
