Bramble (Cocktail)
The Bramble is a tart, refreshing gin cocktail that perfectly balances bright citrus with juicy berry flavors. Built on a foundation of London Dry Gin, it’s shaken with fresh lemon juice and a touch of simple syrup, then crowned with a drizzle of crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur) for a beautiful layered effect. It’s typically served over crushed ice and garnished with fresh blackberries and a slice of lemon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 fluid ounces London dry gin

- 1/2 fluid ounce crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur)
- 2 or 3 fresh blackberries
- 1 slice lemon

Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice. Strain cocktail into glass, then gently pour crème de mûre over the top to create a layered effect. The crème de mûre will sink down to the bottom of the glass. Garnish with blackberries and a lemon slice.
