Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blackberries
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 60 milliliters vodka
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 200 grams fresh mixed berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the blackberries and cooled simple syrup. Blend until smooth.
Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and achieve a smooth puree. Discard the seeds.
Stir in the vodka and fresh lemon juice into the strained blackberry puree. Mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a sorbet consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, until smooth and frozen (approximately 4-5 hours).
While the sorbet is freezing, prepare the mixed berries by rinsing and patting them dry. Hull and slice the strawberries, if using.
To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls and top with the fresh mixed berries. Garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade blackberry and vodka sorbet with mixed berries!
