Ahhhh. Spring is in the air!  (Actually we've got a firm foothold in Summer but that works too!)  In this episode the Gentlemen of Elegant Leisure sample a couple of cocktails featuring the wonderful blackberry liqueur Crème de Mûre. 

First up is a tasty treat created by Dick Bradsell in London in 1984.
The Bramble combines Gin and Crème de Mûre to make a lovely light drink that you could actually enjoy year round.

The Bramble

1 1/2 ounces Gin
3/4 ounce Lemon Juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
3/4 ounce Crème de Mûre


Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice.  Add first 3 ingredients. Stir. Add more crushed ice if needed.  Drizzle Crème de Mûre on top of the crushed ice.  Garnish with a Lemon Wheel and a blackberry.

After this, the Gentlemen change it up with Bourbon.  In the Black Demure created by Franky Marshall of the Clover Club, Bourbon moves in to the drivers' seat with a little help from some Cointreau and Crème de Mûre.  Dark and light at the same time, the drink lives up to it's name.

The Black Demure

2 ounces Wild Turkey Bourbon
1/4 ounce Crème de Mûre
1/4 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce Lemon Juice
1/4 ounce Simple Syrup


Combine all ingredient in a shaker.  Shake and strain in to an old fashioned glass with fresh ice.  Garnish with a lemon wheel and blackberry.

There you have it.  Two delicious drinks surrounded by some Phil Spector references, some questionable Mark Twain impressions and just enough Star Trek trivia to keep you interested!

Also Dave introduces a new feature and announces that we're now on Instagram.  Have a peek at pictures of us and the drinks at cocktailpodcast on Instagram or click on the easy peasy Instagram button to your right.  Enjoy the drinks and as always . . . Tip Big!
