HOW TO PREPARE THE PERFECT BLUEBERRY COSMOPOLITAN
Sep
The original and famous drink is made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Although it does not have defined authorship, it is one of the most requested cocktails in beach bars.
Baptized at first as Cablo Codder, this cocktail was undergoing variations in its name until it was definitely called as it is known today: Cosmopolitan. This version made with blueberries is smoother and juicier, but just as enjoyable!
Blueberry and lime make a really lovely flavor combination. Both fruits have dimensions that complement each other nicely. Here, that ripe, juicy berry flavor brings a new angle to the classic Cosmo, while honoring the spirit of the original.
This Blueberry Cosmopolitan is perfect for warm weather! Made with muddled blueberries and lime juice, this update to the classic Cosmo has a smooth, sweet berry flavor that’s just right for summer.
Here what you will need:
- 60 ml of vodka
- 20 ml triple sec or Cointreau
- 1 tbsp blueberries
- 15 ml of lemon or lime juice
- 1 slice of lemon to decorate
- Ice
Preparation:
1 Muddle the blueberries:
Place the blueberries in the bottom of a shaker or mixing glass. Cover with the pomegranate juice, then muddle the blueberries with a muddler or the back of a spoon. Smoosh them enough so that the skins break and a little juice is released, but not so much that the blueberries completely fall apart.
2 Make the cocktail:
Add the vodka, lime juice, and Cointreau. Fill with ice, cover, then shake for 30 to 45 seconds.
3 Strain:
If using a mixing glass, place a Hawthorne strainer on top. Then, with your other hand, hold a tea strainer over a cocktail glass. Pour the drink out of the shaker or mixing glass through the tea strainer and into a cocktail glass. Enjoy your amazing blueberry cosmopolitan!
