Vodka Blueberry Cordial

Source of Recipe

From "The Complete Southern Cookbook" by Tammy Algood


Recipe Introduction

"I have always loved the word 'cordial.' It just sounded much more Southern and ladylike than a liqueur. This spirited concoction makes a terrific gift. You can also serve it with an equal amount of club soda or ginger ale over ice."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 â…” cups vodka
â—¦ 1 cup sugar
â—¦ 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)


Recipe

In a wide-mouthed one-quart canning jar, combine the vodka and sugar. Cover and shake vigorously to dissolve the sugar. Add the blueberries, cover tightly, and shake again. Let stand in a cool, dark place two months.

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a decorative jar. Discard the blueberries. Serve as a cordial. Store at room temperature.

Makes 2 ½ cups
