Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz blueberry liqueur
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes, as necessary to chill the drink
- Garnish: a few blueberries or a lemon twist
Instructions
- Muddle Blueberries: Start by placing the fresh blueberries into a cocktail shaker and muddle them thoroughly until they release their juicy flavor and break down.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the vodka, blueberry liqueur, triple sec, and fresh lemon juice into the shaker with the muddled blueberries.
- Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to chill and combine all the ingredients well.
- Strain and Serve: Using a strainer, pour the chilled cocktail into a pre-chilled martini glass, ensuring no ice or blueberry pieces get into the drink.
- Garnish and Present: Garnish the martini with a few fresh blueberries or a lemon twist on the rim to enhance aroma and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and color.
- Chilling your martini glass beforehand keeps the cocktail cold longer.
- Adjust the lemon juice to taste for more or less tartness.
- The blueberry liqueur boosts both the fruitiness and the vibrant purple hue.
- Shake vigorously to properly blend the muddled fruit and spirits for a smooth finish.
