bramble

Mix a classic bramble cocktail, essentially a gin sour spiked with an eye-catching shot of blackberry liqueur. We have three twists, too – ideal if you're entertaining

Bramble

lemon juice

sugar syrup

ice cubes

¾tbsp crème de mure

lemon

Shake the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker with a good handful of ice cubes then strain into a rocks glass full of crushed ice. Drizzle the crème de mure over the top so it ‘bleeds’ into the drink. Garnish with the lemon slice and blackberry, if using.<h3>3 TWISTS</h3>Fresh fruit bramble This drink is one to make when the hedgerows are groaning with ripe fruit. Start by muddling 6 blackberries in a rocks glass. Add 50ml gin, 25ml lemon juice, 25ml sugar syrup and fill the glass two thirds full with crushed ice. Mix with a long-handled spoon. Top with more crushed ice, a garnish and paper straws. Bramble royale Go glam with your bramble by adding a splash of champagne to the mix. Just make the drink as normal but reduce the amount of crushed ice by about a third to leave room for the fizz. Then top with 25-50ml of champagne, mix gently, add a bit more crushed ice, garnish and serve. Peach sour The classic ‘sour’ formula that the bramble sticks to is easy to adapt by switching out the liqueur. Try 12.5ml of crème de peche instead of crème de mure – it might not look quite as eye-catching as the bloodshot bramble but it will taste just as delicious.

The Bramble cocktail is one of the great modern gin cocktails! Drizzle a lemony gin sour with candy-sweet blackberry liqueur for a stunning drink.

The Bramble is a classic cocktail that offers a delightful combination of tart and sweet flavors, wrapped in a visually appealing package. Created in the 1980s by bartender Dick Bradsell in London, it has since become a beloved choice for gin enthusiasts. With its base of gin complemented by the citrusy tang of fresh lemon juice and the sweetness of sugar syrup, the cocktail achieves a refreshing balance. It&#039;s the drizzle of blackberry liqueur that gives the Bramble its distinctive taste and its name, as it evokes the bramble bushes where the berries are found. Typically served in a lowball glass, this cocktail is a celebration of the flavors of the English countryside.
