History

A riff on Dick Bradsell's classic Bramble created in November 2022 by Juan Jose Orellano Peñalver during a Bar Academy in the Caribbean to showcase how to make classic cocktails. Juan Jose's original recipe calls for Arbikie Kirsty's Gin and a serve over cubes or a chunk of block ice.

Just as billed, a bitter version of the contemporary classic Bramble.

I made it with cubed ice like the original. Was extremely unremarkable with a very bitter finish.

Excellent! Just the right amounts of lemon, Campari, and simple to balance it out

Beautiful color, and it actually makes Campari somewhat palatable!
