Ingredients
Ingredients
- Fresh blueberries: About 1/2 cup
- Vodka: 2 ounces (smooth vodka preferred)
- Blue curacao: 1 ounce
- Lemon juice: 1 teaspoon
- Simple syrup: 1 ounce
- Ice cubes: As needed for shaking and chilling
Instructions
- Muddle blueberries: Place the fresh blueberries at the bottom of your cocktail shaker and crush them thoroughly with a muddler to release their juices and flavor.
- Add liquids: Pour in the vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled blueberries.
- Add ice: Fill the shaker with enough ice cubes to chill the cocktail well.
- Shake well: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds until the contents are well mixed and chilled.
- Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled martini glass, leaving the muddled blueberry bits behind for a smooth drink.
Notes
- For a sweeter cocktail, adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste.
- Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a completely smooth drink without any blueberry pulp.
- Chill your martini glass beforehand for an extra cold serving experience.
- Fresh blueberries can be substituted with frozen if fresh are not available, just thaw slightly before muddling.
- Blue curacao gives the signature vibrant blue color and a subtle citrus flavor; do not omit for the authentic look and taste.
