The Bramble cocktail was invented in 1984 by renowned British bartender Dick Bradsell while he was working at Fred’s Club in Soho, London. Bradsell drew inspiration from his childhood memories of picking blackberries on the Isle of Wight, aiming to create a fresh, balanced, and distinctly British drink. The cocktail is a twist on the traditional gin sour (mixing gin, lemon juice, and sugar syrup over crushed ice). Bradsell’s innovation was the addition of crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur), which is drizzled over the ice to create a signature marbled effect. The Bramble is now recognised globally as a modern classic, alongside Bradsell’s other inventions like the Espresso Martini.
