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 juice, sugar syrup, Chambord and crushed ice. Bradsell also suggests finishing off the cocktail with some fresh red fruits (such as blackberries, cranberries) and a slice of lemon.

INGREDIENTS

• 60 ml/ 2 oz. Dry Gin
• 30 ml/ 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 15 ml/ ½ oz. sugar syrup
• 15 ml/ ½ oz. Chambord

METHOD

1. Fill the glass with crushed ice.
2. Build gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup over.
