For a sweeter cordial, increase the amount of sugar slightly. Experiment with other berries such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries for different flavor profiles. For a more complex flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh herbs like mint or rosemary to the jar during the maceration process. Ensure the berries are fully submerged in vodka to prevent spoilage. Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor and clarity. Adjust the amount of berries to your taste.
