Description
Chill out with a Blueberry Snow Martini: silky blueberry foam, a frosted rim and a dusting of snow ❄️🫐 — the perfect elegant cocktail for cozy nights or festive gatherings.
Ingredients
– 60 ml vodka 🍸
– 30 ml blueberry purée or blueberry syrup 🫐
– 15 ml fresh lemon juice 🍋
– 15 ml triple sec (optional) 🍊
– 10 ml simple syrup (1:1) 🍯
– 15 ml aquafaba (or 1 egg white) 🥚🌱
– Ice cubes or crushed ice ❄️
– 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting ❄️🍚
– 1 tbsp desiccated coconut (for rim) 🥥
– Fresh blueberries for garnish 🫐
– Lemon twist (optional) 🍋
Instructions
1 Rim: On a small plate mix desiccated coconut and 1 tsp powdered sugar. Moisten the glass rim with lemon juice and dip into the coconut-sugar mix to coat; chill the glass in the freezer for a minute.
2 Blueberry purée (if using fresh): Muddle 60 g fresh blueberries with simple syrup, then strain through a fine sieve to remove skins. Alternatively use ready-made blueberry syrup.
3 Combine: In a cocktail shaker add blueberry purée or syrup, vodka, lemon juice, triple sec (if using), aquafaba (or egg white) and a few ice cubes.
4 Dry shake: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds to build a silky foam from the aquafaba/egg white.
5 Wet shake: Open the shaker, add more ice if needed, then shake again for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
6 Double strain: Using a Hawthorne or fine strainer, pour the cocktail into the chilled, rimmed martini glass, leaving the largest ice shards behind.
7 Finish: Gently dust a light snowfall of powdered sugar over the foam to create the ‘snow’ effect. Float 2–3 fresh blueberries on top and add a lemon twist if desired.
8 Serve immediately: Enjoy your Blueberry Snow Martini while the foam is fresh and the rim is crisp.
