Bramble is a classic cocktail made with blackberries and was created by Dick Bradsell in mid-1980s. It was inspired in part by the fresh blackberries Bradsell harvested as a child while on the Isle of Wight. Bradsell made the drink from childhood memories. Then he experimented to make it even more special by adding different ingredients.
Bradsell's Bramble is a drink that balances sweet and sour tones, and is refreshing as a stand-alone drink. It can be made with different base spirits, including Chambord raspberry liqueur, dry pisco and grassy rhum agricole.
The Bramble is a blackberry-based drink that has a unique blend sweet and sour. It's very simple to make. You can either make this drink in a tall glass of a jar or in a tall cup. It's the perfect drink on a warm August night.
Fred's Club located in London's Soho district was the original place where this drink was invented. Bradsell explained that the drink was served using short straws. Bradsell also spoke to Difford’s Guide. The drink is made from blackberry simple syrup and gin, which are strained over crushed ice. The liqueur can be poured from the top to bottom in a winding manner.
This drink can also be served in an Ice-filled Rocks Glass. This glass allows the flavors to slowly come out of the drink by diluting it.
Bramble can be used as a simple cocktail and can be enjoyed on hot August nights. It is also great for autumn. It's very easy to make and it's a great way of using blackberries in your cocktail.
The Bramble is also available with crushed ice. It can help dilute and enhance the flavor. A younger bourbon that has a higher rye percentage will pair well with the drink. This cuts through the sweeter flavors in the liqueurs, which works well with the strawberry note in the cream de mure.
A homemade creme du mure is also possible. Creme de marmalade, a blackberry liqueur which can be substituted for the Bramble's simple syrup of blackberries, is a good choice. It's a fruity liqueur that adds a hint of tartness and bitterness to the drink. You can garnish it with a wedge of lemon.
You can also add spiced apple juice to this recipe. You can make Brambles with tequila in place of lemon. This drink is easy and adds some spice to the mix.
Make a bramble by shaking the gin in a container or a jar. You can also shake the Gin in a shaker or mason jar.
Next, mix together the blackberries and star anise. For a beautiful aesthetic look, you could also add a lemon wedge.
The Bramble may be a simple cocktail but it's still a standout from the provocatively named drinks of 1980s. Its unique blend of sweet and sour tones make it a standout drink. It's easy and delicious, and is the perfect drink to enjoy on warm August evenings.

How To
How to order drinks at a bar without embarrassing yourself
Although there are many ways to order drinks at a local bar, you need to be able to identify the drink you desire before you approach the counter. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
