    Blueberries on sale?  Make this easy Blueberry Cocktail

    Who else loves it when organic blueberries go on sale?   They start going on sale at Whole Foods and Earth Fare right about now.  That keeps me in blueberries until my own blueberry bushes start producing.  There are lots of ways to eat blueberries, but I also like to drink them.  Sure they are great in smoothies, but they are also amazing in blueberry cocktails.

     

    How to Make This Blueberry Martini

    Step 1 - gather your ingredients:  fresh squeezed lime juice, gin, elderflower liqueur and blueberries.

    Step 2 - chill a martini glass by filling it with ice.  (These z-stem glasses would be so cute!)

    Step 3 - in a cocktail shaker, muddle the gin and the blueberries.

    Steps 4 and 5 for making a blueberry elderflower martini

    Step 4 - add lime juice and Elderflower liqueur to cocktail shaker.

    Step 5 - Add ice to cocktail shaker and shake for 15-20 seconds.  Empty ice from martini glass and strain cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into glass.  Serve garnished with blueberries.

    Tips for cocktail making:  Always use fresh squeezed lime juice.  We tend to squeeze enough on the weekends to last us all week for cocktails.   A fine mesh strainer keeps your cocktail clear and strains out any blueberry skins and pulp.

    What is Elderflower Liqueur? How to Make Homemade Elderflower LiqueurIf you've never tried Elderflower Liqueur, you are in for real treat.  It is made from elderflowers, which are small white flowers.   The liqueur has a lovely floral flavor - not overpowering at all.  I love what it brings to cocktails.    You can actually make your own homemade elderflower liqueur - .

    The combination of blueberries, elderflower liqueur and my liquor of choice - gin - is amazing!   Fruity and refreshing!  Just look at that color!  This would be a great Easter Cocktail, so colorful, it would also make a great Mother's Day Cocktail.  Of course, I think it makes a great Tuesday cocktail too!
