This cocktail recipe uses Lillet and Veuve Clicquot to evoke the romantic French setting of Emily in Paris. The first half of Season 4 of this hit show dropped recently in August, so sip as you watch to be transported to the City of Love. We’ve given you the option to make an infused blackberry and raspberry vodka for an extra touch of sweetness, or you can use your favorite berry liqueur.
When is Emily in Paris Season 4 Coming Out?
The most recent season of Emily in Paris premiered on August 15, but viewers will have to wait until September 12 to see the second half. That’s about enough time to infuse the Blackberry Vodka in this cocktail recipe, so while you wait for the next episodes, you can prepare this drink for the perfect watch party night. You can always skip the infusion and buy a bottle from the store, but why not go the extra mile—Emily would expect nothing less.

Blackberry Infused Raspberry Vodka Recipe
Blackberry Infused Raspberry Vodka Ingredients
- 6 blackberries
- Stoli Raspberry Vodka
Infused Vodka Instructions
- If you choose to make your own blackberry-infused raspberry vodka, Select 6 firm, ripe blackberries to dehydrate. Wash and pat them dry.
- Place them in a single layer onto a sheet tray that’s lined with parchment paper. Set your oven or dehydrator to 200 degrees. Make sure to turn your blackberries every 30 minutes. Total drying time is 6-8 hours and can be longer when using a conventional oven. You want to achieve a dry and chewy texture.
- Once the berries have cooled to almost room temperature, place them into your raspberry vodka. Allow this to sit for at least a month to infuse.
Simple Syrup Recipe
Simple Syrup Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Syrup Instructions
- If you choose to make your own simple syrup, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Allow the syrup to come to room temperature. Then pour into a container. This Simple Syrup will last a minimum of 2 weeks as is in the refrigerator or if you add a tablespoon of vodka or rum it will last longer.
