Instructions
- Place fresh blueberries and cucumber slices in a cocktail shaker, gently crushing them to extract their vibrant essences and aromatic compounds.

- Generously add ice cubes to the shaker and vigorously shake the mixture for approximately 10-15 seconds, ensuring thorough chilling and proper ingredient integration.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a pre-chilled martini glass to capture any fruit pulp while allowing the liquid to flow smoothly.
- Carefully pour the strained cocktail into the glass, creating a sleek and elegant presentation.
- Artfully place a few whole blueberries and a delicate cucumber slice on the glass rim as a refined garnish, enhancing both visual appeal and subtle flavor hints.
Notes
- Muddling softens blueberries and cucumber, intensifying their natural sweetness and releasing aromatic oils for a more vibrant cocktail flavor profile.
- Balance sweetness by adjusting simple syrup quantity based on personal preference, ensuring the drink isn’t too sugary or bland.
- Chilling the martini glass beforehand prevents immediate ice dilution and maintains the cocktail’s crisp, refreshing temperature.
- Experiment with fresh herbs like mint or basil to add complexity and create unexpected depth in this fruity vodka-based drink.
