Cooking Lesson #468: Blueberry Bliss cocktail

…from the California Happy Hour Bar

Blueberry Bliss Cocktail
How you doin’?  With summer almost in full swing, you’ll probably be spending some time outside around the barbecue with friends and family. Over the years we have developed lots of cocktail recipes for our clients, including those that are perfect for outdoor gatherings and events. Here is a light, refreshing summer beverage great for any outdoor occasion.
 
Blueberry Bliss is my answer to a summery refreshing and not too sweet happy hour cocktail. The secret is a touch of lemon paired with aromatic rosemary which creates multi-levels of flavor to this cocktail.
 
Ingredients 
2-1/2 ounces vodka
1 ounce blueberry syrup (or muddled blueberry jam)
1/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 ounce simple syrup
4 ounces soda water
1 small sprig of fresh rosemary
4 to 6 whole fresh blueberries (for garnish)
 
Directions
  1. Using a cocktail shaker half filled with ice, combine the vodka, blueberry syrup, lemon juice and simple syrup—shake to chill.
  2. Strain into an ice-filled stemless wine glass.
  3. Top off with the soda water.
  4. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and drop in a few blueberries.

ChefSecret:  With this cocktail you don’t need the most expensive vodka—any standard well liquor will do. I sometimes like to use 4 ounces of Squirt instead of soda. I like the added level of the grapefruit flavor to this cocktail.  Look for more summery cocktails in the coming weeks.

Quip of the Day:  My tolerance for idiots is extremely low these days. It’s kind of like Covid; I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there’s a new strain out there everyday.
