Blackberry Lemon Bramble
Blackberry puree brings deep berry flavor to apple and pomegranate, while pear nectar adds mellow sweetness and soft fruit body. Lemon sharpens the combination with a citrus accent. Two blackberries on a pick finish the glass without seeds drifting through the drink.
Made with Apple Pomegranate E+
8 min · One 8 fl oz drink · 10 fl oz rounded rocks glass
Original recipe by Capt. Solomon D. Crowe
One 2 fl oz E+ bottle + 6 fl oz mixers = one 8 fl oz drink.
The finished drink contains the bottle’s caffeine: 85 mg according to the US product sheet. Dilution changes the concentration, while the total caffeine stays the same. Check your bottle’s current label.
The flavor balance
Blackberry puree supplies berry flavor, while pear nectar contributes sweetness and body. Lemon adds acidity, and cold water controls dilution without introducing another fruit.
Ingredients
Makes 8 US fl oz · About 237 mL · No ice
- 1 full 2 fl oz bottle Isagenix E+ Apple Pomegranate, chilled
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries, to prepare 1 fl oz (2 tbsp) strained blackberry puree; use only the measured puree
- 1.5 fl oz (3 tbsp) pear nectar, chilled
- 0.5 fl oz (1 tbsp) lemon juice, chilled
- About 3 fl oz (6 tbsp) cold water; use only enough to bring the finished drink to 8 fl oz
- 2 blackberries on a short food-safe pick, for garnish
Optional variation — choose before mixing
For less nectar sweetness, replace 1 tbsp pear nectar with 1 tbsp cold water. Keep the full 2 fl oz E+ bottle unchanged and the finished liquid at exactly 8 fl oz; make the swap before mixing.
How to make it
- 1
Mash the 1/2 cup fresh blackberries and press through a fine sieve. Measure 1 fl oz (2 tbsp) strained puree for the drink and reserve any excess separately. Do this before adding E+.
- 2
Combine the measured strained blackberry puree, measured pear nectar and measured lemon juice in an open measuring jug. Use thoroughly chilled liquids and a chilled glass; do not add ice.
- 3
Pour in the entire 2 fl oz bottle of E+ and stir gently to combine. Do not strain or discard any of the mixture after this step.
- 4
Add cold water gradually, using about 3 fl oz (6 tbsp), and stir gently. Stop at exactly the 8 fl oz liquid mark in the jug.
- 5
Pour the full 8 fl oz serving into the chilled 10 fl oz rounded rocks glass, without ice. Garnish with 2 blackberries on a short food-safe pick. Serve promptly.
Mixologist’s tip: Press the mashed berries through a fine sieve before measuring the puree so seeds stay out of the finished drink.
Serve alongside: An oat cracker with mild brie.
