Stoli Recipe

Combine blueberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and mash berries with the back of a spoon to release juices. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until mixture thickens slightly.

Remove from heat, stir in orange zest and orange juice. Let steep for 10 minutes off heat to allow orange flavor to infuse.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing solids to extract liquid. Discard solids or reserve for another use. Cool the syrup to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled (about 20–30 minutes). This yields roughly 6–8 oz syrup.

Place raspberries and 1 tsp simple syrup in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth, about 15–20 seconds.

Press the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove seeds, using the back of a spoon. Discard seeds. Chill briefly if needed.

Build the cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Add 2 oz Stoli vodka, 0.75 oz blueberry-orange syrup, 0.5 oz raspberry purée and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice to the shaker.

Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 5–7 seconds to better incorporate fruit, then add ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds until well-chilled.

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled highball or coupe glass filled with fresh ice using a fine strainer to remove any remaining pulp.

Top gently with 2 oz sparkling water or club soda and stir once very gently to combine without losing effervescence.

Garnish with 6 fresh blueberries threaded on a pick or dropped into the drink, 3 raspberries, and a thin orange wheel on the rim.

Serve immediately.
