\"TheThe Bramble is easily one of my favorite cocktails<\/a>. It’s sour, refreshing, and fruity\u2014which are all the things I love in a cocktail during the warmer months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bramble is a blackberry-based cocktail that’s rather simple to make and is nicely balanced in flavor. It was invented in the 1980s by Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Soho Club in London, but is actually a spin on a more classic cocktail called a Fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Fix is a sour served down on crushed ice and was first recorded in How to Mix Drinks<\/em> by Jerry Thomas in 1862<\/a>. Crushed ice drinks are perfect for summer because they’re like boozy snow cones, am I right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other great thing about a Fix-style cocktail is that any fruit in season can be muddled in the glass before adding the ice and undiluted cocktail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, this drink also works great with any spirit. That is how The Bramble was born, so let’s get mixing, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
