Tips & Variations
- Add 2-3 sliced vanilla pods for a floral note.
- Choose a type of vodka you'd like to sip.
- While you're making this blackberry infused vodka recipe, you may as well make a batch of blackberry extract for baking! Adapt my blueberry extract and use blackberries instead.
- To use frozen blackberries, let them thaw first and strain off any excess liquid.
- For a stronger blackberry flavor, feel free to use up to twice as many blackberries.
- The type of blackberry doesn't matter. I used marionberries for this blackberry vodka, and they worked wonderfully!
- Substitute your favorite alcohol, like gin or brandy, for a different flavor profile.
- The sugar is completely optional. If you prefer a dry flavor, ditch it completely for a subtle blackberry note in your drinks.
- For a sweeter blackberry liqueur, double (or even quadruple) the caster sugar.
