Ingredients:

- Crushed ice is the traditional type of ice used, but any regular ice will work perfectly fine.
What Is A Bramble Cocktail?
A bramble drink is typically a simple gin cocktail, made with fresh lemon juice, served over ice, with just a splash of creme de mure. This drink is simple variation on that recipe.
The Bramble is a cocktail created by Dick Bradsell in 1980s London, England.
It’s called a “bramble” because that’s the term for a prickly shrub that grows blackberries, raspberries or dewberries. The names bramble or brambleberry refer to blackberries, or products of blackberries like jam or jelly.
What’s A Dramble?
This drink is a variation on the standard gin bramble, like we mentioned above. Nowadays, it’s actually known as a “dramble” to many cocktail enthusiasts.
Since people are often way more familiar with the name “bramble” we just decided to name the post a bourbon bramble, so it was a bit easier to find!
How To Make Your Own Sugar Free Blackberry Liqueur:
Making your own sugar free blackberry liqueur (creme de mure) is super simple, it just takes a little bit of time to infuse the blackberries into the red wine. After everything is infused and strained, you would add sweetener, and vodka. You can find the full instructions and recipe here on this detailed post.
