Ingredients
- 375g blackberries, frozen
- 175g caster sugar
- 700ml (70cl) vodka
Step by step
- Tip the blackberries into a freezer bag and freeze until solid.
- Mix the frozen fruit and the sugar in a bowl, then spoon into a sterilised 1-litre preserving jar.
- Top up with the vodka. Seal the jar and store the blackberry vodka in a cool, dark place for 3 months – give it a shake now and then, every day if you can, for the first week or two.
- After 3 months, strain the fruit from the vodka and discard; return the flavoured vodka to the jar.
Chef quote
This blackberry vodka takes a good three months to develop, so get it infusing in plenty of time for your next dinner party
