The Bramble | England

Cheers From England!

Heres another yummy, fresh cocktail to try for happy hour this Summer. Known in the UK as the Bramble. Would you try it?

The Bramble, a modern classic gin cocktail featured on most bar menus in the UK, was created in 1984 at Fred’s Club in London Soho. Inspired by picking fresh blackberries on the Isle of Wight where he grew up, bartender, Dick Bradsell createda new British take on the Singapore Sling. Similar to the iconic Gin Sour, the Bramble is a mouthwatering gin-based cocktail, perfect for the end of summer.

Prepare this unusual yet delectable cocktail, take a sip, and imagine yourself discovering the English Isles in the late summer sun, perhaps picking your own fresh blackberries and meandering through the brambles. And, when you’re ready, we’re be here to help you plan your visit!
