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, sugar syrup, crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur), and crushed ice. Bradsell also suggests finishing off the cocktail with some fresh red fruits and a slice of lemon.

I opted to only garnish with a blackberry.
