Get out your muddler for this amazing cocktail with the Fourth of July written all over it. Once again, this one amazes me with the flavor combination because blueberry would not be a flavor we would normally associate with anise, but here the berries are placed in the perfect balance with absinthe and the ginger beer is the perfect finishing touch.
For the blueberry vodka you could choose either Van Gogh's Acai-Blueberry, which is deep bluish-purple, or a clear one like Stoli or Smirnoff. It depends on the color that you want the drink's base. Chambord is the natural choice for the raspberry liqueur.
