Wild Roots Marionberry Infused Vodka
Wild Roots Marionberry Infused Vodka is the Oregon icon of the range — 35% ABV (70 proof), 750mL, corn vodka infused with real marionberries, the blackberry cultivar Oregon claims as its own.

The Cabernet of Blackberries
That is producer copy's name for the marionberry, and one sip explains it: where an ordinary blackberry is bright and simple, the marionberry is tart, floral, earthy and sweet all at once — dark enough that the official page calls the vodka liquid jam with a homegrown feel. Alongside Raspberry, it was one of the two original Willamette Valley-inspired infusions at the brand's launch, infused at over a pound of real berries per bottle into Cascade Spirits' corn vodka at the base of the Cascade Range. An independent review in The Manual found deep royal-purple colour, a blackberry-jam nose and a palate that moves from natural sweetness to tartness — like the last bite of warm blackberry pie. Find the full range in our vodka and flavored vodka collections, or on the Wild Roots vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Blackberry jam over a clean, neutral spirit. Palate: Rich, earthy marionberry — natural sweetness first, then tartness, like fresh berries. Finish: Short and tart, the jam note lingering.
How to Enjoy
Stunning in a Bramble, where its depth replaces the liqueur, and equally good as a Marionberry Mule or simply over ice with soda and a lemon twist.
