Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 174kcal
Equipment
- Muddler (for fresh blueberries)
- Small dish (optional - for sugar rim)
- Knife and cutting board (optional - if using fresh lemon)
- Citrus juicer (optional - if using fresh lemon)
- Cocktail pick (for blueberry garnish)
Ingredients
Cocktail
- 8-10 blueberries
- ½ ounce lemon juice
- ½ ounce Cointreau liqueur (or Triple Sec)
- 1¾ ounces vodka
- 1 dash lemon bitters (optional)
Garnishes (optional)
- 1 lemon slice
- 3 blueberries
- 2 tablespoon sugar (for the rim - I used blue colored sugar)
Instructions
- Prepare your blueberry garnish if you're using one by adding three blueberries to a cocktail pick.
- If you're using a sugared rim, prep the glass by wetting the rim (either with water or a cut lemon) and dipping it into a dish of sugar. Set the glass aside.
- Add the blueberries to your cocktail shaker, and smash them up using your muddler.
- Add in the lemon juice, Cointreau, vodka and lemon bitters.
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, seal it and give everything 15-20 hard shakes.
- Strain the drink into your prepared martini glass.
- Add the slice of lemon and cocktail pick with blueberries to the drink as garnishes, and serve.
Notes
- For the sugar rim, I used a blue-colored sanding sugar to make it more festive. You can also use regular granulated sugar, or whatever color sugar you like! If you want even more flavor, try using cotton candy sugar!
- If you like a sweeter martini, you can use a blueberry cocktail syrup instead of (or in addition to) fresh blueberries.
