Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh blackberries
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 cups Vodka
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

4. Slowly add the vodka to the blackberry mixture, stirring to incorporate.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

7. Pour the strained cordial into sterilized bottles or jars and seal tightly.

Step 8

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.
