Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by placing about 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries in a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, gently crush the blueberries to release their vibrant juices and sweet flavor. Aim for a pulpy consistency, which should take about 30 seconds of steady muddling.
- Next, pour in 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of blue curacao, and 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice into the shaker with the muddled blueberries. Add 1 ounce of simple syrup. These ingredients will combine beautifully.
- Fill the shaker with plenty of ice cubes, ensuring it reaches the top. Seal the shaker tightly, and allow it to sit for about 10 seconds before shaking to chill the contents.
- With the shaker sealed, shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You're looking for a nice frosted exterior on the shaker.
- Strain the mixture into a pre-chilled martini glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture. Feel free to garnish with a lemon twist or extra blueberries.

Notes
Muddle gently to avoid bitterness. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Chill the glass beforehand for a better drink experience.
