Bramble cocktail recipe

Created in London by Dick Bradsell in the 1980s, the Bramble has become a modern classic. Named after the bush that blackberries grow on, the key ingredient in the cocktail is a finishing drizzle of crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur). Serving over crushed ice is key, so don’t skimp this step – allowing that extra bit of dilution from smaller chips of ice ensure the cocktail isn’t too sweet.

You’ll need: Boston shaker, Hawthorne strainer, rocks glass
