Have a classy start to your 2015 with the Monkey 47 Bramble cocktail. The handcrafted dry gin is combination of British traditions, exoticism of India and nativeness of the Black Forest. Combined with lime juice and other ingredients, it provides for a sweet treat to ring in the new year.

Here's what you need and how to make it.

1 ½ parts Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin

3/4 part fresh lime juice

3/4 part simple syrup

3/4 part crème de mûre liqueur

Pour Monkey 47, simple syrup, and juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake well and strain over crushed ice into a rocks glass. Drizzle the cremé de mûre on top and garnish with 4 blackberries.
