Ingredients
Blackberry Ginger Syrup
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries (or thawed frozen berries)
- 1 inch nub of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (118g) water
Blackberry Ginger Vodka Sour (1 drink)
- 2 oz vodka (also tastes great with mezcal!)
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 oz blackberry ginger syrup
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters
- 1 large egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba)
Instructions
Blackberry Ginger Syrup
- Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir and heat until the blackberries start to bleed their color and become tender.
- At this point, use a potato masher and mash up the blackberries into a chunky pulp.
- Once mashed, allow the mixture to bubble for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and run the syrup through a mesh strainer over a glass container, pressing out the seeds and pulp to leave you with a clear blackberry syrup.
- Refrigerate the syrup for at least an hour before making a cocktail.
Blackberry Ginger Sour
- Add all of the ingredients to a shaker and shake for 30 seconds without ice.
- Then add ice and shake for another 30 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with fresh blackberries and a thyme twig. Enjoy!
