Drink Name: Blue-cumber

Recipe: Add 2 oz. Stoli Blueberry vodka, 1 oz. Kettle One Citron vodka, 2 oz. fresh cucumber juice, a splash of fresh lime juice and top with Sprite. Serve in a Collins glass over ice. Garnish with fresh blueberries.

“We made it up, and it’s our most popular drink in the summer—especially up on the rooftop bar,” said MacGowan. “It tastes like fresh lemony-flavored blueberries. It’s sweet and sour and refreshing.”
