Bramble

A modern classic with a burst of berry flavor, the Bramble was created in the 1980s by legendary London bartender Dick Bradsell. This cocktail starts with a base of gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup, but its signature touch is a drizzle of blackberry liqueur (crème de mûre) over crushed ice, creating a stunning, sunset-like effect. Tart, sweet, and refreshingly crisp, the Bramble is like a grown-up version of a fruit cobbler—best enjoyed on a warm afternoon.
