Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Saucepan
  • Masher
  • 2 Mason jars
  • Strainer
  • Serving glasses
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 2 cups blackberry washed and drained
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups grain alcohol

For serving

  • 16 cups ice cubes 4 per serving
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint 1 sprig per glass
  • 4 tsp. fresh blackberry 1 tsp. per glass

Instructions
 

  • Divide the blackberries. Put 1 ½ cups into a mason jar.
  • In a saucepan, combine the remaining blackberries, water, and sugar. Heat the mixture on the stove on medium heat, while stirring occasionally.
  • When the syrup comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. While simmering, crush the blackberries in the saucepan with a masher.
  • Pour the syrup into the jar. Fill the top with grain alcohol. Secure the lid tightly. Shake the jar a few times and store it away from sunlight and heat sources. Let the mixture rest for at least three days. Remember to shake once or twice a day during the waiting period.
  • At the end of the waiting period, strain the liquid into another mason jar. Cover the lid and store it in the fridge.
  • For serving, place ice cubes in each glass. Put fresh blackberries over the cubes. Divide the cooled drink into serving glasses. Decorate each glass with fresh mint.
