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.

Pro Tips

  • 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.

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.
