Head to head
Bramble and Gin Fizz side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Gin, lemon and sugar in both. The Gin Fizz is lengthened with soda; the Bramble is finished with crème de mûre instead, so it is fruitier, sweeter and stronger.
By the numbers
The Bramble uses crème de mûre where the Gin Fizz uses soda water; both have gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. In parts, a Bramble is 4 gin, 2 lemon, 1 syrup and 1¼ mûre; a Gin Fizz is 1½ gin, 1 lemon, ¼ syrup and 1 soda. By volume, the Bramble is 49% spirit, 24% citrus, 15% liqueur and 12% syrup and sugar; the Gin Fizz is 39% spirit, 26% mixer and juice, 26% citrus and 9% syrup and sugar.
The Bramble is the stronger drink in the glass (14.3% ABV against 10.9%) and holds more alcohol (1.26 standard drinks against 1.01). The Bramble has more calories (about 177 against 130) and more sugar (12.8 g against 6.9 g). Both are shaken; the Bramble is served in a rocks glass, the Gin Fizz in a highball.
