This festive winter cocktail blends fresh blueberries, cream cheese, vanilla vodka, and a touch of white chocolate liqueur for a creamy, tangy drink that tastes just like blueberry cheesecake in a glass. Quick to make and endlessly adaptable, it’s perfect for parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (about 75g)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (about 55g)
  • 2 oz vanilla vodka (60ml)
  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur (30ml, optional)
  • 1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream (30ml)
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (5ml)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (10g, or to taste)
  • 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs (12g, for rimming glasses)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (about 120g)
  • Optional garnishes: extra blueberries, lemon zest, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Pour graham cracker crumbs onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of each martini glass with a bit of lemon juice, then dip into the crumbs to coat. Chill the glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes for a frosted look.
  2. Add blueberries, cream cheese, vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, half-and-half (or cream), lemon juice, powdered sugar, and ice cubes to your blender.
  3. Blend on low, then increase to high for 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is creamy and vibrant. The drink should be thick and frothy, but pourable.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired by adding more powdered sugar or lemon juice.
  5. Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer for a silky texture.
  6. Divide the drink evenly between chilled, crumb-rimmed glasses (about 5 oz per serving). Top each with blueberries, lemon zest, and whipped cream if desired.
  7. Serve immediately while icy and fresh.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free cookie crumbs instead of graham crackers. Vegan adaptation: use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream. If using frozen blueberries, let them thaw for a few minutes before blending. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Prep glasses and blend base ahead for parties, then add ice and blend just before serving.
