The blackberry basil vodka infusion captures the spirit of spring and warm summer days. If you’re looking for a refreshing but offbeat infusion to dazzle guests, this is for you! The complementary flavors of the sweet juicy blackberry and the fragrant basil work well not only in cuisine but in cocktails as well, both as an infusion or garnish. Vodka is the ideal base for this infusion because of its universality – once infused with blackberry and basil you are able to create one-of-a-kind cocktails or simply sip on the infusion after pouring over ice. We like the idea of using it with club soda and making a fizz, similar to others we’ve done, complete with a basil leaf and blackberry garnish.
