In a Bramble cocktail, which glass is used?

• A. Highball
• B. Rocks
• C. Martini
• D. Coupe

Answer: (B)

The Bramble is traditionally served in a rocks glass, filled with crushed ice. After building the gin, lemon juice, and sugar syrup, the drink is poured over the ice and a float of Crème de Mûre is added on top. The rocks glass keeps the cocktail at a brisk, sippable temperature with enough ice to control dilution, and its size and shape suit the short, sturdy profile of this drink. A highball would dilute too quickly and feel too tall, while a martini or coupe is meant for drinks served straight up or in a stemmed glass.
