Bramble

The Bramble is a classic cocktail that is made with gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and blackberry liqueur. It was invented in 1984 by Dick Bradsell at Fred's Club, a private members club in London. The drink was created as a variation of the popular gin-based cocktail, the gin sour, and was named after the bramble bushes that grow in the British countryside. The drink is typically made by shaking gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup together with ice, and then straining it into a glass filled with crushed ice. The blackberry liqueur is then drizzled over the top, giving the drink its distinctive purple color. The Bramble quickly became a popular drink in London and soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom and Europe. It is considered as a classic gin-based cocktail, and it's perfect for any occasion, particularly as a summer drink. The Bramble is a versatile drink that can be made with different types of gin and variations on the recipe have been created over the years.
