Bramble

A modern British classic: London dry gin shaken with lemon and sugar, poured over crushed ice, then laced with a circular drizzle of crème de mûre that bleeds down through the ice like jam through snow. The blackberry liqueur sweetens and stains the drink as you sip, taking it from tart to deeply fruity. Dick Bradsell built it at Soho's Fred's Club in 1984, chasing the taste of blackberrying on the Isle of Wight as a boy.
