HUCKLEBLUEBERRY PIE-TINI
Written by Just Water
Calling all math nerds & martini mavens—we’re sharing a recipe that’s 3.14 you to kick your Pi(e) Day celebrations up a notch (and if you don’t celebrate Pi(e) Day, don’t be a 3.14 bore & hop on the Pi(e) Day bandwagon!).
Let’s spell (or count?) it out for you: we’ve taken a fresh baked favorite, swirled it with a happy hour staple, and ended up with the best dessert-meets-drink we’ve ever had the privilege to sip-sip. If you’re keeping count (as you should—it is PI Day after all), that’s 1 HuckleBlueberry Pie + 1 Martini= 1 delicious Pie-Tini. So if you’re looking for the perfect equation occasion to shake up (not stir) your happy hour, this is the pie-fect recipe for you.
What You’ll Need…
- 4 ounces vodka
- 1/2 of a vanilla bean
- 2 finely crushed Safe+Fair Remy’s Grahams
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon plus 1 1/2 ounces, chilled
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries, chilled
- 1 1/2 ounces simple syrup
- Huckleblueberry Bubbles (to top)
- Lemon wheels, for garnish
What You’ll Do…
- The night (or up to three nights) before you want to make your cocktails, make the vanilla vodka. Place the vodka and vanilla bean in a small mason jar or sealable container and place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- When making the cocktails, you’ll first need to prep the rims of your glasses. Pour the Safe+Fair Remy Graham crumbs onto one small round plate and squeeze the juice of ½ of a lemon onto another small round plate.
- Taking your martini glasses one at a time, dip the rims into the lemon juice first and then the graham cracker crumbs. Set aside while you make the martinis.
- In a blender, combine the blueberries, 1 ½ ounces lemon juice, vanilla vodka and simple syrup. Pour evenly into the two martini glasses you’ve rimmed and top with Huckleblueberry Bubbles. Garnish with a lemon wheel, if desired.
