Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed?

I don’t recommend ever using bottled lemon juice for cocktails. It can be very strong, and can be hard to get the same flavor as fresh.

How should I rim the glass for a Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini?

We skipped rimming this cocktail, but you certainly can! Simply run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it into a shallow layer of sugar.

Can I use different fruit-flavored vodkas for a Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini?

Yes, you can experiment with different fruit-flavored vodkas to create a fruity cocktail recipe. However, using blueberry or lemon vodka will get you closer to the classic Blueberry Lemon flavor.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

If you are in a pinch, you can definitely thaw some frozen berries for this cocktail, but for best results, use fresh.

How do I make simple syrup?

To make your own homemade simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water (usually 1 cup of each) in a medium sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool before using.

We love this fun twist on the classic Lemon Drop cocktail. While a classic Lemon Drop martini is all tartness and lemons, the blueberries add a delightful sweetness that is perfect for Summer. You’ll want to serve this delicious cocktail to all of your friends. The fresh ingredients make this Blueberry Lemon Drop recipe the perfect refreshing drink.
