Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blackberries
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters vodka (neutral flavor)
Instructions
1. Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Place the blackberries in a large glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
3. Add the granulated sugar to the jar, pouring it evenly over the blackberries.
4. Pour the vodka into the jar, ensuring the blackberries are fully submerged. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
5. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Allow the mixture to infuse for 4 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
6. After 4 weeks, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing gently on the blackberries to extract as much liquid as possible.
7. Discard the blackberry solids and transfer the strained liqueur into clean, airtight bottles.
8. Store the bottles in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. The liqueur will continue to mellow and improve in flavor over time.
