Blackberry Sous Vide Infused Vodka makes the perfect base for a delicious Blackberry Lemon Drop Martini. This tart and tangy cocktail is made extra flavorful with blackberry infused vodka & a sugar rim.
While the Instant Pot has had my attention for a couple years now, I’m developing a new kitchen gadget obsession – the sous vide.
I’m enamored with the way that I can effortlessly make perfect filet mignon in the sous vide. I’ve also made some amazing sous vide salmon, pork loin, and a delicious sous vide ribeye. The sous vide makes it impossible to overcook delicate cuts of meat, but did you know that you can also use it to speed up the process of infusing vodka?
I made this batch of sous vide infused vodka with frozen blackberries. Just look at that gorgeous color!
It would take 3-5 days to infuse vodka in the traditional manner. But, using your sous vide, you can have this beautiful & flavorful blackberry vodka ready in just 3 hours!
Note: This recipe would also work with gin. Learn all about the differences between gin vs. vodka here.
This blackberry sous vide infused vodka would make a great holiday or hostess gift. You could even package it up with the ingredients needed to make the delicious Blackberry Lemon Drop Martini that I’m highlighting below.
Or, you could gift your friends with a trio of sous vide infused vodka:

FAQs
I definitely doesn’t hurt to refrigerate your infused vodka (heck, it makes for colder cocktails that way), but it’s not necessary. The alcohol will prevent bacteria from growing, so it can also be kept at room temperature.
Your sous vide infused vodka will keep indefinitely. Store it in a dark place, or in the refrigerator or freezer.
