Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh blackberries
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Vodka
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
Instructions
1. Rinse and pat dry the blackberries. Place them in a large bowl and gently mash them using a potato masher or fork until they release their juices but are still somewhat chunky.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves fully and forms a simple syrup (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
3. Once the syrup has cooled, remove the cinnamon stick and discard it. Pour the syrup over the mashed blackberries and mix until evenly combined.
4. Slowly add the vodka to the blackberry mixture, stirring to incorporate.
5. Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place to infuse for 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help distribute flavors.
6. After 2 weeks, strain the cordial through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean pitcher or bowl, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
7. Pour the strained cordial into sterilized bottles or jars and seal tightly.
8. Serve neat, over ice, or as a mixer in cocktails. Store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
