Introduction

The Blueberry Pie Martini is a fun and tasty drink that tastes like your favorite blueberry pie, but in a glass! It’s sweet, fruity, and creamy — perfect for parties or a cozy night in. This cocktail is easy to make and will impress your friends with its delicious flavor inspired by the classic dessert.

 

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz blueberry liqueur (or blueberry syrup)
  • 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 oz simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Ice cubes
  • Graham cracker crumbs (for rimming the glass)
  • Fresh blueberries (for garnish)

How to Make a Blueberry Pie Martini

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Wet the rim of a martini glass with a little lemon juice, then dip it into graham cracker crumbs. This gives the drink a pie-crust flavor right from the start! Chill the glass while you mix the drink.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, blueberry liqueur, heavy cream, lemon juice, and simple syrup if you want it sweeter.

Step 3: Shake with Ice

Add ice cubes to the shaker, then cover and shake it well for about 15 seconds. This cools the drink and mixes all the flavors perfectly.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Drop a few fresh blueberries on top or on a skewer to make it look extra special.
