Ever since I had a Blackberry Cosmo at a local restaurant, I’ve been dying to make these at home.
They are super easy. 
I used fresh blackberries and blended in my Kitchenaid mini food processor. This thing is awesome. Light as a feather and more power than you can ever imagine out of such a small machine. 
Then I took the blackberry puree mixture and put it in a sieve over a bowl and let it drip. It’s pretty thick so you will have to take a silicone spatula and move around every once in a while to get it to drain. Make sure you use a silicone spatula that bends. A stiff one will be too hard to use in this case.
Once you have all the liquid from the blackberry pulp, discard the pulp. 
Time to make the cocktail:
Shake vodka, orange liquor, puree, lime juice and simple syrup with ice cubes. Strain into martini glasses.
Garnish with orange slice.
Blackberry Cosmo
Description
Delicious and refreshing.
Ingredients
3 oz berry vodka
1/2 oz Cointreau liquor
1-1/2 oz blackberry purée
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
squirt simple syrup
1 – orange for garnish
Instructions
Blackberry Puree:
Place the blackberries in the bowl of a food processor. Process until liquidy, about 1 minute. Transfer to a fine sieve suspended over a bowl. With a silicone spatula, stir the purée until all the juices have been strained and only the seeds are left behind. Discard seeds.
Transfer purée into a squeeze bottle and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 day.
Make the cocktails:
Shake the vodka, orange liqueur, blackberry purée, lime juice and simple syrup with ice cubes.
Strain into martini glasses. Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Use simple syrup if making your own blackberry puree. If using prepared puree it may have sugar in it already, so you can eliminate the simple syrup.
