Instructions

  • Add 5 Cups of Blackberries to a large bowl and mash them up with a Potato Masher. You want to break up the berries until they're the consistency of Jam.
  • Add in 1 bottle (750ml) of Medium Bodied Red Wine such as Syrah, Merlot or Sangiovese.
  • Cover the wine berry mixture with a breathable cloth and place in a cool dry place for 48 hours.
  • Next fine strain the liquid discarding the solids.
  • Put the wine mixture into a medium sized pot and add 1.5 Cups of sugar. DO NOT BOIL or you will burn off the alcohol! Just heat the mixture up enough fully incorporate the sugar
  • Take off heat and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled add in between 1/2 to 3/4 Cup Vodka or Gin. I usually use Gin as it makes for a much more flavorful Liqueur.
  • Enjoy!
