03History
Bradsell — the Bramble, the Espresso Martini — made it for a house party where vodka was all that was left. The cassis darkens as you drink — 'the punch arrives by degrees'.
Crushed ice is the carrier: it chills and dilutes at the right rate.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
