A humble yet elegant springtime cocktail that ticks every box - a simple choice to make if you've got a bottle of gin but few other ingredients! The Bramble was invented in the 80's by bartending legend Dick Bradsell who also brought us the Espresso Martini.
​
Brambles are short and tart drinks filled with crushed ice, topped with vibrant berries and a rich raspberry liqueur that bleeds through the drink and creates a stunning contrast between the white ice, pale lemon juice, and colourless gin.
