What is a bramble cocktail?

The Bramble cocktail was created in 1984 by a London bartender, Dick Bradsell. It’s based off of a gin sour, but with the addition of crème de mure which is a blackberry liqueur.

It’s got a balance of sweet and tart, while still being perfectly refreshing with it’s combination of dry gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and crème de mure.

What is Chambord?

Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur from France. The ingredients include red and black raspberries, Moroccan citrus peel, honey, Madagascar, and Cognac.

Its fruity and sweet profile make it a great liqueur to add to lots of fruit forward cocktails to make an easy, refreshing cocktail without too much extra effort.

What ingredients do I need to make a Chambord bramble?

It only takes four ingredients to make:

• Gin
• Chambord
• Lemon juice (lime juice could also work!)
• Simple syrup
• If you’re feeling fancy, add some fresh fruit like raspberries and blackberries or lemon slices!

Can I make this with other fruits?

For sure! This would be a great drink with blackberries, or even other mixed berries like a few blueberries and strawberries.

Really any sort of red fruit would make a great addition to lighten up the drink.

Are there other types of liqueur I can use?

If a Chambord bramble doesn’t sound like your type, you can make it classic with crème de mure to bring out the blackberry flavors.

Blackberry brandy could also be a great option to bring a fruit-foward liqueur to the cocktail.
