Blackberry Vodka Cordial Recipes

BERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Pour the sugar into a 1 quart jar. Fill the remaining space with berries, but do not pack down. Fill the jar with vodka so that the berries are completely covered. Seal the jar. Let the jar stand for 2 months, shaking the jar every week. The sugar should dissolve, and the vodka will become colored.
• Strain the liquid through a metal sieve, and then through a coffee filter to remove the fruit. Pour into pretty bottles. Drink as a cordial, or use it to flavor lemonade or iced tea.

HOMEMADE WILD BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Add Fresh Blackberry (1 kilogram), 1 Tbsp of Lemon (1/2), and Caster Sugar (800 gram) to a large saucepan, mix well. Cover and leave the fruit at room temperature overnight.
• Place the saucepan on low heat for 3 minutes to gently warm up the blackberries without boiling. Stir often until the sugar has dissolved entirely and has developed a nice deep blackberry flavor to the juice.
• Switch off the heat and carefully pour out 80% of the juice and set aside. It should be around 350-400 ml.
• Pour the blackberry juice through a sieve, pressing with the back of your spoon to get out as much of the juice as possible.
• Then funnel your cordial into a sterilized bottle and seal.
• To serve, dilute 1 part cordial with 5-6 parts Sparkling Water (to taste) in a jug. Pour over crushed ice with a slice of Lemon (1/2) and Fresh Mint (as needed).

BLACKBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Fill quart jars with blackberries. Pour vodka in to cover berries. Put on the lids and put jars in a cool, dark place and forget about them for 2 to 4 weeks. Then, pour contents through a strainer and reserve liquid. In a heavy saucepan combine sugar and water and bring to boil, long enough to dissolve sugar. When this syrup cools a bit, add to blackberry liquid and stir. Pour liquid into container of choice and put in freezer. When chilled, it's good as is or, as we tried it, in a juice glass with ginger ale. It's indescribably good.
