| † Bramble recipe at International Bartenders Association | |
The Bramble is a cocktail created by Dick Bradsell in 1980s London, England. Best described as a spring cocktail, the Bramble brings together dry gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, crème de mûre, and crushed ice. Bradsell also suggests finishing off the cocktail with some fresh red fruits (such as blackberries, cranberries) and a slice of lemon. It closely resembles the popular Gin Fix.
Many bartenders will substitute creme de cassis in place of creme de mure, when the latter is unavailable.
History
The Bramble was created in London, in 1984,[1] by Dick Bradsell. At the time, Bradsell worked at a bar in Soho called Fred's Club, and he wanted to create a British cocktail. Memories of going blackberrying in his childhood on the Isle of Wight provided the inspiration for the Bramble.[2]
The name of the drink comes from the fact that blackberry bushes are called brambles.[3]

And, immediately, I had my 'madeleine moment'. I was back in my childhood on the Isle of Wight, going blackberrying, and being pricked by the brambles, [...] I had all of this in mind, and I thought, 'I want to design a British cocktail.'

A bramble, by the way, is the bush that blackberries grow on.
