Ingredients

  • 375g blackberries, frozen
  • 175g caster sugar
  • 700ml (70cl) vodka

Step by step

  1. Tip the blackberries into a freezer bag and freeze until solid.
  2. Mix the frozen fruit and the sugar in a bowl, then spoon into a sterilised 1-litre preserving jar.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
