A Bramble cocktail is mostly made with crème de mûre (a blackberry liqueur), lemon juice, London dry gin, easy syrup, and garnished with a contact of fruit (blackberries or raspberries).

I like Hayman’s Royal Dock Gin for its notes of juniper, coriander, and citrus. It performs very nicely on this cocktail and provides it a extra subtle style.
