Traditional martini recipes, look out: the blueberry martini is in town. Blowing the lid off of classic cocktail drinks like the cosmopolitan, the apple martini and the lemon drop cocktail, the blueberry martini is the hottest drink you can order at the trendiest bars and restaurants.
So why is the blueberry martini having its own renaissance? Thanks to the popularity of fruity martinis that have gone before it (namely the pomegranate martini recipe), expert mixologists across the globe are looking to create the next martini recipe that’s going to take the world by storm.
That’s where the blueberry martini comes in. Combining the tart and memorable taste of blueberry vodka with refreshing and fruity triple sec, the blueberry martini is a martinis recipe to be reckoned with. So if you want to liven up your next party or just want to impress your friends with the latest cocktail drink recipes on the block, then you simply can’t go wrong with the blueberry martini.
However, there’s a difference between making a blueberry martini – and mixing it so that it’s a symphonic blend that’s sure to delight the pickiest palates. With that in mind, this article will guide you through the right way to mix the perfect blueberry martini, as the order will help each ingredient cool to its proper temperature:
1. Always start off your blueberry martini recipe (or any cocktails recipes, for that matter) with a chilled cocktail shaker. Once your shaker has sufficiently cooled, fill it up with a cup of ice cubes, which should be about six to eight cubes.
2. Now that your ice is in place, it’s time to crack open the chilled blueberry vodka. Making sure that you’re using a premium brand (it affects the final outcome of your blueberry martini), pour two ounces of blueberry vodka into the cocktail shaker.
3. Once the vodka’s in place, get out the triple sec (again, quality alcohol is key here) and slowly pour one ounce of it into the mixture.
4. Finally, finish your pouring session by adding an ounce of lemon-lime soda.
Now that you have the elements of the perfect blueberry martini in place, it’s time to flex your arm muscles and shake your cocktail shaker for what it’s worth. Ideally, you want to shake up your martini for at least a minute, as this gives the water from the ice time to mix with the ingredients. Additionally, vigorous mixing will also ensure that your drink comes out cloudy, which is an important element of any blueberry martini.
Once your hands start getting tired, uncap the cocktail shaker and pour it into a chilled martini glass. For an added touch of style that’s sure to impress your guests, cap off your blueberry martini recipe with a garish of lemon or a few blueberries (it’s a unique twist on the traditional olives).
Now that you have a handle on making the best blueberry martini, it’s time to get out there and explore more great cocktail drink recipes!
