A well-balanced (neither too strong nor too sweet), short, fruity drink which is reminiscent of the modern-day Bramble.

I think this drink is better if you 1.5- 2X the sweetness. These specs leave it really dry if you’re expecting something like a bramble.

A balanced, dry cocktail that has a very enjoyable citrus and cherry finish. Nicely done

First sip was a bit unsure, but after I let the cocktail breathe a minutes, the flavours got much softer. It is nice and dry, and the alcohols work perfectly together.

Why is it called Bramble style? ?

It's termed Bramble-style due to the Bramble being the best-known cocktail served over crushed ice with a liqueur drizzled over the cocktail to bleed down through the drink.

Drier than I expected it to be looking at the ingredients list, in a very pleasant way. Equally appropriate before or after dinner (or indeed just whenever), IMO.
