The Sloe harvest round us is woeful so i'm looking for alternatives.... we have a glut of blackberries so i was thinking blackberry vodka? 
Has anyone tried it? i'm thinking of following the method for Sloe Vodka

My friend makes raspberry vodka that way, and she and all her family rave about it.  That reminds me; she gave me some, haven't tried it yet...  exit stage left...

Sloes are non existent around here this year aswell. Blackberry Vodka is delicious! I make some every year if I can. Gorgeous with a little coke or even on its own

That's good to hear, I'll definitely make some and report back
We picked 2lbs of whinberrys this week.....I wonder worth a try as well.
Thanks

We've made Blackberry Whiskey and it's really nice. Use cheap whiskey of course the nice stuff should never be tampered with!

Lots of sloes around Wattisham Airfield Suffolk, We were visiting and had 2 Tesco bags full! Now to find bargain gin

There are no sloes but loads of damsons here and both go well with gin.  We've always used vodka for raspberries and blackberries though I can see no reason why blackberry gin won't work.

We have sloes if you wanna come get em, AND I found a some bullace so am going to do bullace gin too!


My mate tried a new one a few years back after being inspired by our foraging trips.
She made skittles vodka.....


That stuff was AMAZING! Taste the rainbow and all that

I've got lots of sloes. Sloe gin, sloe jelly....   I'm going to try to chutney them this year

When doing blackberry rum, i use 1/2 the sugar than i would for sloes
