A simple, delicious recipe for blackberry syrup for cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar*
  • 1 cup Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 pinch Salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Add blackberries and a small pinch of salt. Stir to coat the blackberries in the syrup. Bring to a simmer, and simmer 10-15 minutes until the syrup is very fragrant and darker in color.

  3. 3

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a glass airtight container. Note: Don't push down to squeeze any extra juice from the berries; this makes the syrup cloudy.

  4. 4

    Keep blackberry simple syrup refrigerated for up to two weeks, or add a small splash of vodka and store for up to a month.
