Created in London in 1984, this gin cocktail is a modern classic. It expertly combines sweet and sour notes grounded by the juniper flavor of the gin, creating a drink that is as refreshing as it is potent. While the Bramble has come in and out of fashion over the years, its appeal is everlasting.

Cocktail created by Francesco Lafranconi, Executive Director of Mixology and Spirits Education at Southern Wine and Spirits.
