The Bramble is a delightfully tangy cocktail with a smidge of sweetness, boasting a keen blend of gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup, all topped with a floating layer of blackberry liqueur.
Expect a crisp, citrus kick from the lemon, smoothed over by the sugary syrup, the herbal touch of gin, and the fruity punch of the blackberry liqueur. This drink comes to us from the late great bartender, Dick Bradsell.
The Bramble Cocktail was created by the legendary bartender Dick Bradsell. He shook up the cocktail scene with incredible cocktails like the Bramble, Espresso Martini and Russian Spring Punch to name just a few.
