Perfect Love Potion Cocktail - featured image

A simple yet magical vodka berry cocktail that combines fresh mixed berries, vodka, and a splash of citrus for a refreshing and romantic drink perfect for special moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) vodka
  • ½ cup (75 grams) fresh mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
  • ¾ ounce (22 ml) simple syrup
  • ½ ounce (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) club soda
  • Fresh mint leaves (a few sprigs, for garnish, optional)
  • Ice cubes (plenty)

Instructions

  1. Place your serving glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, add ½ cup of fresh mixed berries.
  3. Gently muddle the berries about 10-12 times until they release juice but are not completely smashed.
  4. Add 2 ounces vodka, ¾ ounce simple syrup, and ½ ounce fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
  5. Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes (about 6-8 medium pieces).
  6. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and blended.
  7. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled glass to remove seeds and pulp.
  8. Top with 2 ounces club soda and stir lightly to combine without losing bubbles.
  9. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a couple of whole berries.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Chill the glass beforehand for a better drinking experience. Muddle berries gently to avoid bitterness from seeds. Adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or lemon juice to taste. Can substitute vodka with gin or make non-alcoholic by using sparkling water or white grape juice. Prepare berry-vodka base ahead and add ice and soda before serving.
