Blueberry Citrus Smash

Making smash cocktails is a great way to get rid of fruit that is just on the edge of turning. Hey, can’t be wasting fruits now when you can just put them in a cocktail. This blueberry citrus smash uses blueberries, lime, and blood orange. It seems like during this corona virus quarantine I’ve severely increased the amount of cocktails I make.

The steps for this are really easy, and you don’t really need any tools. In a rocks glass I added the fruit and muddled it with the handle of a rolling pin. Then I added plenty of vodka and ice, and then filled the rest with soda water. The end result: a fruity, tangy cocktail that has a punch.

This blueberry citrus smash uses 60 ml of vodka, or about 1 Eastern European shot. However you can absolutely raise it to 100 since the soda water neutralizes a lot of the vodka kick.

Equipment

• Rocks Glass

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Blueberries
• 2 wedges Blood Orange
• 1/2 small Lime

Instructions

• In a rocks glass add the fruit and muddle it with either a proper muddler, or another kitchen tool. I used a French rolling pin and just smashed everything around. You can squeeze the juice from the citrus before muddling it to help release the liquid better.

Notes

Feel free to increase the amount of vodka. After all, you will anyways.
