Bramble

The Bramble is a classic cocktail that is both refreshing and tart. Created in the 1980s by London bartender Dick Bradsell, the Bramble brings together the sweet, earthy flavors of blackberry with the sharp tang of lemon, all smoothed out by a touch of simple syrup and a base of dry gin. It's a perfect drink for those who enjoy a balance of fruitiness and acidity in their cocktails.
