A variation of a Bramble inspired by the great nature writer, Richard Mabey
Especially pages 57-8 of Weeds: The Story of Outlaw Plants (London: Profile Books, 2012) on the painting below:
 |
| Large Piece of Turf, Albrecht Dürer, 1503 |
1.5 oz Bog-myrtle Gin (or your favorite gin infused with mugwort, dandelion root, or gorse)
0.5 oz Nettle Cordial (nettles steeped with sugar and lemon, strained and chilled)
0.75 oz Blackberry & Elder Vinegar Shrub (a tangy replacement for crème de mûre or cassis)
0.5 oz Verjus (as seen in Agnes Varda's The Gleaners & I, for tartness and green acidity)
Optional: a drop of vegetal chlorophyll tincture (for earthy greenness and surreal hue, inspired by Moe Gorge at Khatsalano Street Party, 2025)
Garnish
A twisted blackberry bramble stem (safely scorched and cleaned)
Candied dandelion petals
Ice shaped like pebbles or seeds (can be made with herb-infused water)
