A bramble, ten reasons to life... And one reason to leave you

I know this title seems the song’s title, but it’s further from reality. The story I tell you is a statement of intentions. A reasons’ range that something for everyone, that you don’t know if I have written if you don’t read to the end.


To start, I go to get a good ambient for this post. I invite you to drink a Bramble. A cocktail created by Dick Bradsell, on the Fred’s Club at the Soho ( London), in the late 80’s.



The Bramble cocktail recipe is:



  • 2oz. of Tanqueray n. 10. A good cup ( infusion) of citrus, a good supply of Vitamin C. The best thing to get vitality and positive energy. Tanqueray n. 10 is a premium gin of fourth destilation. On its fourths destiltation, the gin was infusionated with citrus, like grapefruit, orange and lime. All of them perfectly mixed with the juniper and chamomile touch. this is a great purity gin with a characteristic softly taste. A gin with sweet personality, and smooth, freshly and citrus aroma. Barely noticeable characteristic flavor from juniper.
  • 1 1/4 oz. of Lime juice, not only bring us fresh, it will help our nervous system to achieve the necessary balance on limit situtations
  • 1/4 oz. of sugar syrup, tenderness and affection.
  • 1/4 oz of Chambord, blackberries liquor for excellence. This liquor, one of the delights heritage of France. It’s the best of its category, not only for its taste, but for its iconic image, as its characteristic bottle was designed in honor of Louis XIV, who introduced this liquor into Chambord’s Castle at one of his travels. This liquor contains of blackberry, cognac, honey, Madagascar vanilla, and citrus peel. Louis XIV was a great representative of luxury and the good life, the same banners of Chambord.


Preparation method: fill an old fashioned glass whith crushed ice. Add gin, lime juice and sugar syrup into a shaker. Shake well and serve into the glass with double cast method.

To finish a dash of Chambord and garnish with a blackberry.


And, that’s all! Now, sit down, relax... and take a moment to enjoy this drink instead you’re reading the next story:

A moment! How long is exactly “ a moment”? A moment is a temporary measure of the Ancient Roman Empire, it’s during a minute and a half, so one hour has got forty moments. But it takes much less of a moment to change your life.

Many people, by whims of fate, their lifes suffer dramatic twists, tearing every bit of happiness.
