Notes

  • You can use frozen raspberries in this jalapeño raspberry Bramble, but be aware that frozen raspberries will release more liquid, so consider cooking the raspberry syrup down if it ends up looking very watery.
  • You can vary the heat in this spicy gin cocktail by omitting the jalapeño or using less. Or turn it up by trying a habanero pepper as a substitute for jalapeño!
  • Extra raspberry jalapeño syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
