Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Mixture
- ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, defrost first)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary (divided: 2 for muddling, 2 for garnish)
Liquids and Additions
- 4 ounces vodka
- 4 teaspoons simple syrup
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- Ice (as needed for shaking and serving)
- Club soda (to top off)
Instructions
- Muddle Ingredients: Place ½ cup blueberries and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush them gently to release the flavors.
- Add Liquids and Shake: Pour in 4 ounces of vodka, 4 teaspoons of simple syrup, and the juice of one lemon. Add ice to fill the shaker, then seal and shake vigorously for about 1 minute to chill and combine the ingredients.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two cocktail glasses with ice cubes to keep the drink cool and refreshing when served.
- Strain and Pour: Strain the chilled mixture over the ice in each glass, ensuring a smooth texture without blueberry pulp.
- Top and Garnish: Top each glass with club soda for effervescence. Garnish with the remaining 2 sprigs of rosemary and a few fresh blueberries to enhance the visual appeal and aroma.
- Serve: Serve the cocktail immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their peak.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, make sure to defrost them prior to muddling for best flavor extraction.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your sweetness preference.
- Use fresh rosemary sprigs for an aromatic garnish that complements the drink’s herbal notes.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with extra club soda or a splash of sparkling water.
- Chilling the cocktail glasses beforehand can enhance the drinking experience.
