Hailing from London and created in 1984, this gin cocktail is something of a modern classic. It expertly combines sweet and sour notes that are grounded by the juniper flavor of the spirit, creating a drink that is as refreshing as it is potent. While The Bramble has come in and out of fashion over the years, its appeal is everlasting.
