If you are often too busy to make breakfast (guilty), then I have a drink for you- meet the Breakfast Bramble cocktail! This is like breakfast in a glass, if breakfast included lots of booze! Kidding, you wouldn’t want to down a couple of these before heading to the office/stufio/gym, these are best saved for the weekend 😉
The Breakfast Bramble cocktail has jam + greek yogurt (yes yogurt!) Both add a great mouth feel + tart, tangy notes to a traditional bramble. I used greek yogurt for a more sharp tang, but other yogurt would work too making it a bit creamier.
The lovely Amisha of The Jam Lab recently sent me a few of her handmade jams. One of the jams was an apricot rosemary combo that is so delicious on just about EVERYTHING, but I couldn’t wait to use it in a cocktail. If you have not had a jam cocktail before, mixing with gin + citrus is a great place to start, they are a natural pairing!
You are going to want to make these Breakfast Bramble cocktails this weekend, just be sure you don’t have any plans after!

Where did you get these gorgeous glasses?? I love them!
Hi Kelly!
They are thrift store finds. But there are some similar ones at CB2 or search for crystal cut glasses on Ebay. Hope that helps!
