How to Make and Use Blackberry Syrup for Cocktails
& Why You Shouldn’t
When it comes to adding fruity, fresh flavors to your cocktails, blackberry syrup is a delicious option that brings a rich sweetness to any drink.
So, you want to make blackberry syrup at home? The process is pretty simple: you simmer blackberries, sugar, and water on the stove until they’ve broken down into a syrupy consistency. Once everything is cooked, you’ll strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the solids, leaving you with a sweet, berry-filled syrup that’s perfect for cocktails.
But here’s the catch: while making blackberry syrup at home sounds easy, it’s not always the most convenient option—especially when you’re prepping for a night of mixing cocktails. Between finding the right ingredients, standing over the stove, and cleaning up the sticky aftermath, homemade syrup is a bit of a time commitment.
