A refreshing and vibrant cocktail that combines the coolness of cucumber, the sweetness of blueberries, and a zing from lime, all topped off with fizzy ginger beer.
Ingredients
a handful pieces Fresh mint leaves
1 whole Cucumber
1/2 cup Blueberries
1 whole Lime
2 oz Vodka
to top ml Ginger beer
Method
Begin by filling a chilled copper mug with ice to maintain a refreshing temperature.
In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle fresh mint leaves to release their fragrant oils. Next, add diced cucumber, ripe blueberries, and two lime wedges. Continue to muddle until the cucumber and blueberries are nicely crushed and the lime juice is extracted.
Add more ice to the shaker along with a shot of vodka. Secure the lid and shake energetically until the outside of the shaker feels icy.
Strain the mixture into your prepared copper mug and top it off with a splash of ginger beer. For an eye-catching finish, garnish your drink with a handful of blueberries, a couple of mint leaves, and a slice of cucumber.
