Maine Blueberry Cocktail Recipes

Posted:

Muddle up some wild blueberries with fresh basil or mint and you'll make some Maine magic.  We love pairing local fruit with spirits from our local distillers, as you'll find in the Maine Wiggly Mojito.  For something really simple that works in a pitcher, mix 1 part soda with 1 part Cold River Blueberry vodka, add blueberries and a lemon for garnish and you're good to go.  To up your garnish game, skewer large blueberries with a cocktail pick, or freeze blueberries in water in an ice cube tray.  They'll look great and taste even better!
