About the Bramble

The Bramble was created by renowned bartender Dick Bradsell in the 1980s at the Fred's Club in London. It combines gin with the fruity flavors of blackberry liqueur and fresh lemon juice for a refreshing yet complex drink. Known for its balance of sweetness and tartness, the Bramble is often served over crushed ice, making it a perfect summer cocktail.

This drink is a modern classic and a favorite among those who enjoy a fruit-forward gin cocktail.
