Gin
Bramble
A gin sour with a bruise-purple drizzle — as pretty as it is easy.
Every recipe on Sipped Right is tested at home before it's published — not just written.
Origin
Created by bartender Dick Bradsell in London in the mid-1980s, inspired by his childhood memory of picking wild blackberries — a well-documented origin, since Bradsell discussed it directly before his 2016 death.
Flavour Profile
Good for someone who wants something impressive-looking with no real skill required. Tart citrus-forward with a sweet, fruity finish. Not for a purist who dislikes visibly "fruity" drinks.
Glass & Garnish
Rocks glass, crushed ice.
Ingredients
- Gin2 oz
- Fresh lemon juice0.75 oz

Method

Notes
Don't stir after drizzling — the bleed-through is the visual point. No crème de mûre? Blackberry liqueur or loosened jam works. Pairs well with fresh berries and cheese.
