The Bramble is a visual masterpiece and a joy to drink. Created in 1980s London, this cocktail balances the botanical notes of dry gin with the tartness of lemon and the rich, dark sweetness of blackberries. It’s a perfect springtime sipper that looks incredibly impressive.

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Prepare the glass: Fill a rocks glass to the brim with crushed ice.

3. Strain: Strain the gin mixture into the glass over the crushed ice.
