The Bramble is a modern British cocktail created in the 1980s by legendary bartender Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Club in London. Inspired by Bradsell’s childhood memories of picking blackberries, he combined gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup and blackberry liqueur to create a drink that was both refreshing and visually striking. The cocktail became known for its crushed-ice presentation and the blackberry liqueur “brambled” over the top, giving it its distinctive appearance and name.
