What is Muddling?
First off, if you are new to making cocktails, let me share exactly what "muddling" means and how to do it. Muddling is the process of pressing fresh ingredients against the side of a glass. This releases the natural flavors and helps it to bind with the alcohol. In this cocktail, the blueberries and strawberries are muddled to bind better with the vodka giving the drink a fruity flavor.

Do I need a muddler and shaker to make the Refreshing Berry Vodka Spritzer?
No, you can actually just use the back of a wooden spoon if you do not have a muddler. An important thing to remember is to be gentle and not pulverize the berries. If you do not have a shaker, you could substitute a mason jar with a tight fitting lid to shake the drink.
How do I make the Refreshing Berry Vodka Spritzer?
There are just a few simple steps to creating this tasty adult drink.
Step 1: Muddle the Berries
Add 5 blueberries and 1 strawberry, sliced in half to a cocktail shaker. Then, muddle the berries.
Step 2: Add in Vodka and Wine
Add in the vodka and Rose' wine to the cocktail shaker, then fill it with ice. Gently shake it until everything is combined.
Step 3: Put it all Together
Place a few ice cubes into your favorite glass. Strain drink into the glass and top it off with lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and add a few blueberries to the drink, if desired.
Can I use other types of berries?
Yes, absolutely! I love the combination of blueberries and strawberries. However, this could also be made with blackberries or raspberries. Frozen berries (thawed) could also be used if you do not have fresh ones on. hand.
