Method
Cocktail
Muddle blueberries
Place the fresh or frozen blueberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the simple syrup and muddle gently until the berries are broken and release their juices (about 20–30 seconds). This extracts color and flavor for the cocktail.
Add spirits and citrus
Add the vodka, blueberry liqueur (or blueberry-flavored vodka), triple sec, and fresh lime juice to the shaker containing the muddled blueberries.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with crushed ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well-chilled. Vigorous shaking helps emulsify the fruit and chill the drink thoroughly.
Double strain
Prepare a chilled coupe or martini glass. Double-strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the glass to remove blueberry solids and seeds, leaving a smooth, lightly purplish cocktail.
Adjust sweetness or tartness (optional)
Taste quickly (one small sip) — if the cocktail is too tart, add 1/4 fl oz simple syrup and stir briefly; if too sweet, add a few drops (about 1/8 fl oz) of lime juice and stir.
Garnish
Thread the 3 blueberries onto a cocktail pick and rest across the rim, or float them in the drink. Add a lime wheel or a thin lime twist to the rim for aroma.
