Three Olives Berry

While last week’s vodka is really tasty and only has a limited number of drinks that it will sit well in, this vodka is also tasty, but can find its way into numerous drinks and is certainly comfortable mixing with a wide variety of mixers.

Pretty much everything from Three Olives is downright grand when just mixed with soda. The berry flavor is no exception. It also mixes well with lemon/lime soda as well as creme soda.

Where this vodka really shines, however, is when it is mixed either with pomegranate juice or blueberry juice (or both!). Of all the berry flavored vodkas, this one makes the best blueberry martini’s I’ve had yet. Here’s my recipe for a little kiss of blueberry goodness.

3 shots Three Olives Berry vodka
2 shots Blueberry Pomegranate juice (100%)
Juice of a lime wedge
2-3 large blueberries (frozen are ok)

In a shaker, combine the liquids and ice, but not the blueberries. Shake well. Add blueberries to a fresh glass, strain and enjoy! Simple brilliance and it tastes wonderful! The blueberries should thaw by the time you get the bottom of the glass, but if you’re sure they won’t, then use fresh.
