The Bramble is a reasonably modern classic, invented in 1984 by
an industry legend by the name of Dick Bradsell. First created at
Fred’s club in Soho the bramble is a typically English drink using
blackberries and gin. The word Bramble comes from the colloquial
English name for a blackberry bush.

Exact dates for the invention of this drink are not clear, although we don’t see
the recipe in print until 1931 we do know it is ‘pre-prohibition’ (before 1920). It is
named after and most likely originates from the men’s club of the same name who
used to meet at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia.
