INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a sturdy tavern glass, add the berries and the simple syrup.
* Muddle the berries until they are smashed and have released all their juices.
* Add the lime juice and the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Fill the glass to the top with crushed ice.
* Pour the ginger beer over the ice, allowing it to bubble down through the fruit mixture.
* Stir gently with a long spoon to pull the berry juice from the bottom up into the ice.
* Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a few extra berries on top.
CHEF TIPS:
The Berries: If using frozen berries, let them thaw for a few minutes before muddling to ensure you get all the juice.
The Ice: If you don't have pebble ice, you can crush regular ice cubes in a clean tea towel with a mallet for that authentic rustic "crush" texture.
The Ginger: Use a spicy ginger beer to give the drink a "bite" that mimics the warmth of a traditional tavern spirit.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Winter Berry & Bramble Crush responsibly 🍓❄️
