Amaro Bramble cocktail served in a rocks — Hedgerow fruit and Italian roots over a mound of crushed ice.

The Method

How to make it

  1. 01

    Shake gin, amaro, lemon and syrup with ice for 10 seconds.

  2. 02

    Strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice.

  3. 03

    Drizzle the crème de mûre over the top so it bleeds down through the ice.

  4. 04

    Garnish with a blackberry and a lemon wheel. Serve with a straw.

Bartender's Tip

Pour the mûre last and slowly, in a spiral. The bleed is the drink's signature — stir it in and you have thrown away both the look and the layered first sip.

A Little History

Dick Bradsell created the Bramble at Fred's Club in 1980s Soho, chasing the taste of picking blackberries as a child on the Isle of Wight. Amaro adds the bitter, root-cellar depth that gin alone cannot supply.
