This summer I’ve been trying to step outside my usual Sauvignon Blanc pour and instead mix up a cocktail or two which is how my Blueberry Mint Fizz came to be. Well from that and my desire to have something crisp, cool, and refreshing on these hot Atlanta days which this cocktail completely delivers. And of course I had to take the fizz just one step further and make it a tad “fancy” by adding blueberry and mint ice cubes which are easy to make and perfect to keep on hand to impress any guest that may stop in for a sip or two.

- 1 1/2 oz. Smirnoff Blueberry Vodka
- St. Germaine Liquor (or Agave syrup) if you're not going to use our fruit filled ice cubes
- 2 1/2 oz. Club Soda
- 5-8 Mint Leaves
- Blueberries
- Place mint leaves in a cocktail of shaker and muddle.
- Add regular ice (not the fancy fruit ice), Vodka, and Club Soda. Shake, shake, shake.
- Pour over fancy fruit ice and enjoy.
- **If you are not using the fancy fruit ice then you may want to add agave or St. Germain liquor to add a touch of sweetness. Also for a more intense blueberry flavor add 5 or so fresh blueberries to the bottom of your shaker along with the mint and muddle.**
- White Grape Juice
- Blueberries
- Mint Leaves
- Ice Cube Molds
- Mix equal parts white grape juice to water and pour into molds filling them all the way to the top.
- Place blueberry and mint leaves into ice cube molds. 2-3 blueberries and mint leaves per cube.
- Freeze at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- **You can do this with any fruit or herb, just be careful as some fruits tend to bleed turning your whole cube colored if they’re too ripe. This happened to me with raspberries**
This post was sponsored by Smirnoff Vodka but the recipe and love for a good cocktail is all my own. We adore Smirnoff and it’s brands like this that make Waiting On Martha possible.
Blueberry+Mint=Amazing. I definitely need to give these a try. Thank you for sharing!

you do need to try this, asap! xo
This looks amazing. What might you suggest for a non-alcoholic version?
Just take out the vodka and I think it would still be perfect. Maybe a hint of blueberry syrup. xo
Hi there! I’m super interested in making this for a summer party! I have a 2.5 gallon container that I will be using to make the blueberry mint fizz. I didn’t see how many oz. your recipe could make. Could you give me a break down for 2.5 gallons? Thank you!
