An Edinburgh venue has been named as one of the world's top 50 places to drink, as part of the Best Bar Awards 2015.

Bramble, located on Queen Street, Edinburgh, entered the list at number 32 and was the only Scottish bar to make the cut.

The top spot was awarded to high-end hotel bars including London's The Artesian, which serves a range of drinks including the Above & Beyond cocktail - a blend of Zapaca rum, PX 30 Fernet Branca, crème de banana and mandarin bitters served with an inflatable plastic pillow floating above it containing Guatamalan worry dolls which, when popped, the drinker may keep.  

The list's top five places were made up of bars exclusively found in New York and London, while venues in Sydney, Seattle, Tokyo and Berlin were given a nod to elsewhere.

Bramble, which opened in 2006, offers a selection of hard-to-beat cocktails such as the Foxtrot Fizz (Colonel's Fox's gin, homemade grapefruit cordial, bitters and Prosecco) and La Roux (Hendrick's gin, apricot brandy, fresh ginger, lemon juice, sugar and bitters).
