Pineapple Martini with Blueberry & Rosemary-infused Vodka

(recipe serving size – 1 martini)

For the martini:

3 oz vodka

3 oz pineapple juice

1/4 cup fresh blueberries

1 sprig of rosemary

1 oz fresh lime juice (roughly juice of 1/2 lime)

Place a handful of ice into a shaker. Add the fresh blueberries and the vodka. Muddle for about 30 seconds until the color of the vodka has taken on a purple hue. Add the pineapple juice, lime juice, sprig of rosemary and additional ice. Shake for 10-15 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Add blueberries and/or a sprig of rosemary for garnish. Serve while cold.

Creative liberties:

  • For gin lovers: replace the vodka with gin and follow the same steps.
  • For extra rosemary flavor: add the rosemary to the shaker during the muddling process and muddle the herb along with the blueberries and alcohol before adding the pineapple and lime juice.
  • To keep your drink cold longer: freeze a few blueberries and add the frozen berries to your cocktail once it has been poured.
