Best 7 Blackberry Cordial Drink Recipes

RASPBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Put the raspberries in a pan with the sugar and vinegar. Mash over a low heat for 10 mins until smooth and syrupy. Rub through a sieve into a clean pan.
• Tip the seeds from the sieve into a bowl and stir in 300ml water, then sieve again to remove the last of the pulp from seeds. Pour the liquid into the pan with the sieved pulp, stir well and boil for 1 min. Pour into small sterilised bottles and seal. The cordial will keep unopened for a few months. Once opened, store in the fridge.

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.

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).

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.

BLACKBERRY LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Combine blackberry juice, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest in a large saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Strain to remove spices and add rum.
• Pour liqueur into a sterilized bottle and seal. Store in a cool, dark place.

BLACKBERRY VODKA CORDIAL

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a jar/ container.
• Place the jar in a cool dark place for 24 hours, turning occasionally to combine.
• Strain into a bottle.
• Store in refrigerator.
• Serve with soda water.
• Discarded berries very good over ice cream!

BLUEBERRY CORDIAL

Steps:

• Rinse a heat-proof 2-quart jar with boiling water, drain it, and combine sugar, blueberries and vodka in it. Seal jar tightly and let cordial stand in a cool, dark place, shaking the jar occasionally, for two months.
• Strain the cordial through a very fine sieve, lined with a triple thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth, into a bowl and transfer it to a decanter. Serve the cordial as an after-dinner drink or with tonic over ice as a cocktail.
