Fresh, fruity and fun… What is there not to love about the Bramble?
The Brits are the pioneers of gin, so it just makes sense that they are the birthplace of some of the best classic gin cocktails. This fruity and fun drink was created in 1984 by Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Club in London. Quite the pedigree the late Mr Bradsell displays, amongst his other famous inventions is the Espresso Martini! A short gin sour that could quite possibly be one of THE “drinks of the summer”.

Bartender’s Top Tips If you don’t have Creme de Mure (Blackberry liqueur) on hand, there are a number of substitutes which still make a delicious Bramble. Try one of the following; Creme de Cassis (Blackcurrant liqueur) Sloe Gin (Hawthorn berries) Shiraz Gin (We like Seppeltsfield Road or Four Pillars) Chambord (Black raspberry liqueur)
