Cobbler schmobbler! There are so many other things to make with blackberries. I know, blackberry season is technically over, but we happened to find a bush hiding quite a few still edible ones. Not quite enough for a pie or cobbler, mind you, but enough to fix up a nice bit of blackberry sauce.
...and mix it with vodka for a tasty martini.
First, you need to make your blackberry sauce, which is delicious not only in cocktails, but in smoothies, yogurt, on pancakes or waffles, you name it.
Blackberry Sauce
1/2 lb blackberries
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
Heat the above ingredients in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Mash the berries with a wooden spoon to release all the juices. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved (about 10-15 minutes).
Strain liquid through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, then chill well.
Blackberry Martini
1 part chilled blackberry sauce
1 part vodka
Ice
Put into a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a martini glass and there you go.
Wasn't that easy?
