The Bramble is Bartender Dick Bradsell's masterpiece Gin cocktail which helped to push Gin at a time when Vodka was king and Gin was looked at as an old man's beverage.
This cocktail is a Modern Classic created by the godfather of the 1980's London Cocktail Scene. The late Dick Bradsell was known as the sort of British version of Dale DeGroff and was most famous for not only using fresh ingredients at a time when club culture was king and everyone was using Roses Lime Juice and other chemical laden ingredients, but also for his innovative cocktails. He is the creator of not only the Bramble but also the Russian Spring Punch, the Vodka + Espresso (better known as the espresso Martini) the Treacle and the Wibble. He bartended at some of the most exclusive spots in London and it is rumored that he invented his Vodka+Espresso (Espresso Martini) when model Heidi Klum asked him for something that would "wake me up and fuck me up".
Sadly Bradsell passed away February 27th 2016 of a Brain Tumor. He will be missed and we should give him a cheers every time we make one of his masterful cocktails.
For me this is a gateway Gin cocktail, that is, a drink you can make for someone who claims they hate Gin and have them fall absolutely head over heels for it. It's very Gin forward but also features a balanced amount of lemon juice, simple syrup and Creme De Muir.
Also as a note: the creme de muir that I make in this episode is house made. And yes I will do a video on how to make it.
