Ingredients

• 2 cups vodka
• 1 cup fresh blackberries lightly crushed

Instructions

• Prepare the Blackberries: Rinse the blackberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Lightly crush them using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices while keeping some texture intact.
• Combine Ingredients: Add the crushed blackberries to a clean, sterilized glass jar. Pour in the vodka, ensuring the blackberries are fully submerged.
• Seal and Steep: Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in a cool, dark spot. Shake the jar gently every day to help the infusion process and distribute the flavors evenly.
• Strain and Bottle: After 5–7 days (taste-test after 5 days to check the flavor), strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar. Press the berries gently to extract the remaining liquid, but avoid over-squeezing to prevent cloudiness.
• Store: Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The infused vodka will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
