Bramble, A Sweet Break

Do you need a spring cocktail, here is the bramble. It is based on gin and is always served on the rocks. Fresh and sweet.

Wikipedia says; It was created in London in 1984 by Dick Bradsell, a bartender at Fred's Club in Soho. Bradsell was inspired by memories of blackberry picking on the Isle of Wight as a child and named the cocktail the 'Bramble' after the common name for blackberry bushes.

 Ingredients:

Gin (50ml)

Lemon or Lime Juice (30ml)

Sugar Syrup (15ml)

Blackberry Liqueur (15ml)

Lemon & Blackberries to garnish

​Ice Cubes (for shaking)
