💙🍋 Midnight Blue Crush
(Inspired by “Black Dick for You” – reimagined with elegance and playfulness)
A Bold and Beautiful Blueberry-Lemon Cocktail with a Sparkling Twist
Introduction
Vibrant, tart, and irresistibly smooth, the Midnight Blue Crush is a modern cocktail with a moody hue and a refreshing citrus kick. The blend of fresh lemon juice and sweet blueberry syrup creates a perfect balance of sweet and sour, while vodka keeps things crisp and clean. With a sugared rim and lemon twist, it’s as photogenic as it is flavorful.
Ingredients
1 oz Vodka 🍸 – Clean and smooth, the base spirit
1/2 oz Blueberry Syrup or Puree 💙 – Fruity and naturally sweet
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice 🍋 – Bright, tart acidity for contrast
1/2 oz Simple Syrup 🍯 – Adds sweetness and rounds out the citrus
Ice 🧊 – For shaking
Sugar (for rimming) 🍬
Lemon Twist (for garnish) 🍋
Instructions
Prepare your glass: Lightly moisten the rim with lemon juice and dip in sugar to coat. Set aside.
Shake it up: In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, blueberry syrup, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds.
Strain and pour: Strain the chilled cocktail into your prepared glass—coupe, martini, or rocks glass all work beautifully.
Garnish: Finish with a fresh lemon twist to elevate both aroma and presentation.
