The Bramble is a simple gin cocktail that is the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and refreshing. Its charm will remind you of a classic that has been around for hundreds of years. Starring Crème de Mûre, a blackberry liqueur, this may just be your new favorite way to drink gin!
The drink originated in the mid-1980s by Dick Bradsell, an England bartender, and was named for the bush that blackberries grow on. Refreshing blackberries matched with tart lemon, simple syrup, and gin is a simply stunning combination!
