BCN GiN COCKTAILS

The BrambleA instant classic, the Bramble was created in the mid 1980’s by Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Club in Soho, London. Bradsell who to this day is still bartending is one of the most loved people in the industry and the man who single-handedly changed the face of the cocktail scene in London in the 1980s. The Bramble, a mixture of gin, lemon juice, creme de mure, a blackberry liqueur, and simple syrup was an instant hit in England and it will for sure soon be one of your favorite cocktails, trust us on this one. It’s well-balanced, easy to make, and refreshing. Finish it of course with some mandatory blackberries and a toast to Bradsell’s genius. Cheers!

SOUTHSIDEThe story
The original Southside’s cocktail Southside is a translucent, green wonder cocktail that has long languished in the shadows of its hyperactive cousin, the Mojito. But it has two other variations; it can be jazzed up with soda water to make a Southside Fizz, or with Champagne to make a Southside Royale. It is thought that the Southside Royale was debuted during the Prohibition period. A similar cocktail was drunk on the Southside of Chicago in the 1920s, hence the reason behind the cocktail’s name. During this time, Chicago was a turbulent area under gang rule. Joe Saltis, Frank McErlane and Al Capone were the three major bootleggers controlling the South of the city. A line between North and South was distinctly drawn, and one of the many distinctions between these areas was the way they served their drinks; North side mobsters – with access to more superior spirits – drank gin and ginger ale, while those in the South used lemon juice and sugar to mask the harsh taste of the black market alcohol. Whatever variation you choose, this is without doubt a cocktail for summer, so next time the sun drenched skies force you into the paddling pool – take one of these in with you for good measure. How to make a Southside cocktail • 8 mint leaves • 60ml BCN GiN • 30ml fresh lime juice • 15ml sugar syrup Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Shake. Fine strain into a chilled Martini glass How to make a Southside Fizz/Royale The Recipe is the same as above, but with the addition of soda water/Champagne |
