    Ingredients for A Blackberry Rosemary Vodka & Soda

    • 1 cup fresh, very ripe blackberries frozen may be substituted
    • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 1/2 ounces floral or citrus-flavored vodka I am using Kettle One Grapefruit & Rose
    • 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 3 1/2 ounces seltzer

    Instructions

    The Method

    • Muddle blackberries, rosemary, and sugar in a small saucepan until almost smooth. Add water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
    • Set a swath of cheesecloth in a colander over a heatproof bowl. Strain the mixture into the cheesecloth, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
    • Once syrup has cooled, transfer to a small carafe or beaker.
    • Combine 1 ounce of the syrup and the 1/2 ounce lime juice in a glass. Next, add the vodka. Add fresh ice cubes and top with seltzer. Garnish with more rosemary and a whole single blackberry, if desired.
