So what is a Bramble? The bramble was invented in 1984 by Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Club in London’s SoHo. A bramble cocktail normally consist of the following ingredients: Gin, Simple Syrup, Lemon Juice, Creme de Mure, Crushed Ice and Blackberries; however today there are many variations like the one I enjoy below with some experimentation of course.
