Blueberries have long been a source of inspiration.
In songs — Blueberry Hill is a popular song published in 1940 best remembered for its 1950s rock n’ roll version by Fats Domino.
In movies — Remember Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Golden ticket winner Violet Beauregarde gets the taste of a lifetime trying out a new gum Wonka is working on that doubles as a three-course meal. When Violet gets to the dessert course — blueberry pie — things go a little haywire and her skin’s pigment changes to a blueberry color. That’s the stuff of childhood nightmares!
And, now in an icy liquid concoction. Introducing {drum roll, please!} The Blueberry Bramble Cocktail! 6 ingredients never tasted so good! St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, fresh blueberries, mint, vanilla vodka, club soda, and simple syrup come together to make a refreshing summer cocktail.
- 4 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries, plus extra for garnish
- ½ shot simple syrup
- 2 shots (3-ounces) St. Germain Liqueur
- 1 shot (1.5-ounces) best quality vanilla vodka

- In a mixing glass, muddle the mint leaves with the blueberries and simple syrup. Add the St. Germain Liqueur and vodka, top with ice and shake vigorously. Pour into a tall glass and top with club soda, stir, and garnish with blueberries.
