Tasting Notes

This Blueberry Pie Martini tastes like dessert in a glass—sweet, creamy, and full of blueberry flavor. The blueberry vodka and pie syrup bring in that rich, fruity filling flavor, while triple sec and lemon juice brighten things up with a bit of citrus. Pineapple juice adds subtle tang, and the cream or milk gives the drink its smooth, pie-like texture. The graham cracker rim adds a crust-like crunch, and the whipped cream and berries on top pull it all together.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker, jigger, and a fine strainer. Use a coupe or martini glass to show off the rich color and creamy finish. A small plate is perfect for rimming the glass with icing and crushed graham crackers. A bar spoon or pick helps place whipped cream and blueberries neatly on top.

2oz cream or milk
1oz triple sec
1oz blueberry pie syrup (see recipe below)
0.5oz pineapple juice
0.5oz lemon juice

Blueberry Pie Syrup

1 container of fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 lemon peel
1 tablespoon vanilla paste

Instructions

Make the Blueberry Pie Syrup

Bring to a simmer while mashing the blueberries, simmer all ingredients for 10 minutes then turn off heat and let cool for another other 10 minutes. Strain out the juice and save for 2 weeks.

Pro Tips

Shake hard to fully mix the syrup and cream this helps get a smooth pour.
Use chilled ingredients so the cream doesn’t separate.
The icing helps graham cracker crumbs stick better and adds sweetness to the first sip.
If your blueberry syrup is very thick, double strain to keep the texture clean.
Chill your glass ahead of time for a smoother experience.

When to Serve

This Blueberry Pie Martini is perfect for dessert hour, celebrations, or when you just want something rich and sweet. It’s a great end-of-night cocktail, fun for holidays, birthdays, or any event where you want to serve something a little playful and different.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

Use a blueberry vodka like Smirnoff Blueberry or Absolut Berry.
For triple sec, Cointreau gives a clean finish, but any citrus liqueur will work.
Use real cream for richness or whole milk for something lighter.
You can use store-bought blueberry syrup or make your own with blueberries, sugar, and a touch of lemon juice for that “pie” feel.
Graham crackers and whipped cream? Any standard grocery brand works great here.
