Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Easy to make — All you need are three easy to find ingredients to make this recipe. 
• Made with blueberry syrup — Unlike other blueberry lemon drop recipes, this one uses blueberry syrup, rather than smashed blueberries. The result is a smoother drink with a more powerful blueberry flavor. 
• Sweet & Tart — This cocktail is just the right balance between sweet blueberry flavor and tangy lemon.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Blueberry Syrup: You can easily make your own blueberry simple syrup at home in just a few minutes using fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar and water. Or, you can buy a store bought one.
• Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for this recipe — it will make a difference in overall quality of the drink. 
• Vodka: Use your preferred brand of vodka. You can also use Citron vodka if you have it for an extra dash of lemon flavor.

How To Make A Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini

Step 1: Add the vodka, lemon juice and blueberry simple syrup together in a cocktail shaker. 

Step 2: Shake well for 20 seconds and strain into a martini glass.

Expert Tips

• Chill the martini glasses. Chill the martini glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving this drink —especially if you are serving this cocktail on a hot summer day!
• Add a sugar rim. Line the rim of the martini glasses with a bit of lemon juice and dip the rim into sugar for a sweet rim. You can also mix a combination of sugar and lemon zest for a sweet & sour rim. 
• Make it extra sour. If you enjoy a particularly tart drink, add an extra ½ oz of lemon juice for a sour kick.
