How to Make Blackberry Martini

  1. Combine 1 cup blackberries, ½ cup water, and ½ cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until blackberries have softened and released their juices (about 10 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 25 minutes).
  4. Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
  5. Discard the solids. You will have approximately ¾ cup of blackberry purée.
  6. To make the cocktails: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin or vodka, 1 oz blackberry purée, and ¾ oz simple syrup.
  7. Add ice to the shaker.
  8. Shake well until thoroughly chilled.
  9. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  10. Garnish with a fresh blackberry and/or a lemon twist (optional).
