Wash the blackberries under cold running water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Place the blackberries in a large sterilized glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Add the granulated sugar to the jar, pouring it evenly over the blackberries.
Pour the vodka into the jar, ensuring it completely covers the blackberries and sugar.
Seal the jar tightly and shake it gently to help dissolve the sugar slightly.
Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the sugar dissolve and the flavors infuse.
After the infusion period, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean sterilized bottle to remove the blackberry solids.
Seal the bottle and store the blackberry vodka cordial in a cool, dark place. It can be served immediately, but its flavor will improve further over time.
