CAPSULE REPORT: In the US, ice flavoured vodka is getting hot, hot, up 6.4% from total vodka growth of 3.1% and total spirits growth of 1. 3%. * And this impressive growth makes the category infinitely good-looking to new entrants. In the previous 12 months alone, according to BevNetwork.com, more than 150 new vodkas have been introduced in the United States, 95 of which have been flavour. In April, Stolichnaya Blakberi was unique to the debutantes – and it’s delicious. Figures from BevNetwork.com. Blakberi Vodka arrived just in time for Mother’s Day.
Mom will love these cocktails. Recipes blend Blakberi vodka with exquisite herbal flavours of basil, lavender and sage; or with the ever-popular mint; or with an exotic rose and champagne. Choose one of your “signature cocktails” for your spring and summer getaways.
Those who prefer pure drinks can drink fresh blackberries. Blakberi season runs from May to September, peaking in June and July. (Winterberries are traded from Chile, but think local and eat local when in season.) Stolichnaya was the first to introduce flavoured vodka to the United States, with Limonaya in the mid-1970s. Stoli Vanil, Stoli Razberi, Stoli Ohranj and previous year’s debutant Stoli Blueberi are among the most popular vodkas in the world (see Stoli Blueberi cocktail recipes). This year’s indigenous product, Blakberi, builds on product trends showing the growing popularity of blackberries (an antioxidant-rich fruit) in beverages and personal care goods.

Blakberi Vodka Recipe

The secret Ingredient for Blakberi Vodka
Vanilla pods are my Blakberi vodka recipe’s secret ingredient! Separate the pods and scrape out the seeds – add these and a single pod shell to your Blakberi vodka.
I add the second pod to a sugar jar to make vanilla sugar, lovely for baking.
I doubled the ingredients for my Blakberi vodka recipe because I had so many blackberries and a huge one-litre bottle of vodka. It was logical.!
How to Make Blakberi Vodka
Get a sterilized, airtight Kilner jar or a wide-mouthed bottle big enough to hold all the ingredients.
Fill a big bowl with cold water to cover the blackberries and add the fruit. After about 15 minutes, any debris or bugs should float to the top. Remove them with a spoon or cup and repeat the process two more times.
Then drain the fruit carefully and place it gently on paper towels to dry. Any spoiled fruit can remain used for Blakberi smoothies, sorbets or desserts. The Blakberi ice cream is decent.
Add the blackberries, sugar, vanilla pod and seeds and pour in the vodka. Yes, it’s as simple as that!
Shake the jar lightly to dissolve the sugar and place it in a cool, dark cupboard. Shake the jar daily for the leading week and then occasionally until the sugar is no longer visible at the bottom of the pot. Forget it for 12 weeks.
When the to come time is up, strain the liquid. Rinse the muslin and wring it well so that the precious liquid does not penetrate. Place the mousseline over a sieve and strain the Blakberi infused vodka into a large pitcher.
At this phase, it is imperative to remove the blackberries. Else, the woody centre of the berry gives the vodka a bitter aftertaste.
Pour the liquid into the bottle of your choice – I keep all the fancy bottles to make it even more special! These vintage snap on bottles are beautiful and perfect for holding.
The Blakberi vodka is ready. You can drink it now or let the warm Blakberi flavour infuse even more if you take an iron will.
How to serve Blakberi infused vodka?
I love this trick from my good friend Viveka in the comments below:

Rinse and drain the blackberries to remove any bugs.
Take a sterilized Kilner jar and add the blackberries, sugar, one vanilla pod and the seeds from the second vanilla pod.

Please put it in a dark and cool cabinet. Shake daily until all the sugar is dissolved. It will gross about a week.
After 12 weeks, anxiety through a sieve and damp cheesecloth and pour into a nice bottle. It is essential to remove the blackberries at this stage. Otherwise, the woody centres will give the vodka a bitter taste. You can increase your body heat and the maintain the required body temperature.
