| †Bramble recipe atInternational Bartenders Association | |
TheBramble is a cocktail created byDick Bradsell in 1980sLondon, England. Best described as a spring cocktail, the Bramble brings together drygin,lemon juice, sugar syrup,crème de mûre, and crushed ice. Bradsell also suggests finishing off the cocktail with some fresh red fruits (such asblackberries,cranberries) and a slice of lemon.
If crème de mûre is unavailable, many bartenders will substitute creme de cassis for it.
The Bramble was created in London, in 1984,[1] by Dick Bradsell. At the time, Bradsell worked at a bar inSoho called Fred's Club, and he wanted to create a British cocktail. Memories of goingblackberrying 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 calledbrambles.[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.
