This little Blackberry Vodka Cocktail tastes as good as it looks. Fresh blackberries and a splash of vodka make it the perfect, refreshing drink all year round. Like our Sparkling Cranberry Cocktail, this drink is fancy enough for holiday gatherings, a special celebration, or just an after dinner sip.
