Bramble

Discover The Bramble

The Bramble cocktail is a modern classic known for its refreshing balance of sweet, tart, and fruity tastes. Created in the 1980s by renowned bartender Dick Bradsell in London, this cocktail combines gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and blackberry liqueur (usually crème de mûre). Served over crushed ice, the Bramble offers a vibrant, visually appealing drink that’s perfect for warm weather and a favourite among gin lovers looking for something light yet flavourful.

Making a Bramble cocktail is straightforward but rewarding. You start by shaking gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice, then strain it into a glass filled with crushed ice. The final step is to gently pour blackberry liqueur over the top, which creates a beautiful gradient effect and adds a burst of berry sweetness. Garnish with fresh blackberries and a lemon slice to enhance both aroma and presentation. The combination of botanicals from the gin and the rich blackberry flavour results in a complex yet approachable drink.

The Bramble cocktail has become a staple in bars worldwide due to its perfect balance of ingredients and easy drinkability. It’s a versatile option that works well as a refreshing aperitif or a casual summer cocktail. Whether you’re a seasoned mixologist or a home bartender, the Bramble is an excellent choice to impress guests and enjoy a taste of contemporary cocktail history.
