This take on a bramble subs out the gin for a summery tequila and adds a bit of minty fernet. We're 100 percent on board, as this rendition has just the right amount of sour from the blackberry balanced with depth from the mint and a hefty bite of tequila to just do the trick. $11. —Elizabeth Atkinson
This refreshing classic originated in London with gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and crème de mûre (a blackberry liqueur), but Chicago takes the idea and puts a spin on it. We found bright gin drinks riddled with fruit, from strawberries to lime, for a slew of fresh sippers.
