Notes

EXPERT TIPS

- Don't forget the lemon rind! Muddle the peel to get the right amount of bitterness.

- Use good quality vodka. The better the vodka, the better the drink!

- Use good quality blueberries. Not all blueberries are bursting with flavor, go for organic or local when you can to get the most flavor in your blueberry lemon drop martini.

- I highly recommend using a mesh strainer instead of the cocktail shaker to pour your drink. From my experience, the cocktail shaker gets clogged easily and makes it more challenging to strain the drink.

SUBSTITUTES

- Use Blueberry vodka instead of fresh blueberries. We love making homemade blueberry vodka during the season and storing it for drinks year-round.
