While summer may have come to a close, I still crave a refreshing cocktail after a long week and I recently discovered a new favorite: the Acai-Blueberry Mojito. Inspired by the Cuban classic, this version combines Van Gogh’s acai-blueberry infused vodka with fresh blueberries, mint and lime to produce a uniquely delectable drink. In addition its delicious flavor, it’s a fun cocktail to create and its beautiful presentation adds a charming touch to any occasion. Enjoy!

Acai-Blueberry Mojito
2 ounces Van Gogh Acai-Blueberry Vodka
1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
1 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
10 Mint Leaves
10 Fresh Blueberries
Club Soda

Muddle mint leaves, blueberries and lime juice in cocktail shaker. Add simple syrup and vodka and fill with ice. Shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass and top with the club soda. Stir. Garnish with mint sprig or skewer of fresh blueberries.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Van Gogh Vodka is helping salty dogs mix up their favorite grog with pirate inspired vodka cocktails.

Pirate enthusiasts planning to mark the occasion will find Van Gogh Vodka has the map to a treasure chest o’ mARRRRtinis that would appeal to the fiercest of buccaneers. Cool off and kick-back with the “Caribbean Iced Tea,” or man-up and “Swab the Decks.”
