OUR BLUEBERRY ICE CUBES RECIPE
Looking to add a pop of colour and a burst of natural flavour to your cocktails? These Blueberry Ice Cubes are the ultimate finishing touch. Simple to make but visually stunning, they turn any serve — from spritzes to G&Ts — into something a little more special. As the ice melts, it slowly releases the subtle sweetness and deep colour of the blueberries into your drink, enhancing both the flavour and the experience.
Whether you're styling drinks for guests or just want to upgrade your everyday sip, blueberry ice cubes are the easiest way to bring natural theatre to the glass.
Ingredients in the Garnish
Blueberries
Blueberries add a natural burst of colour and gentle sweetness. As the ice melts, the berries slowly infuse the drink with subtle fruitiness. They also double as a stylish, edible garnish once the ice has melted.
Filtered Water
Using filtered or boiled and cooled water helps produce clearer ice cubes, letting the blueberries shine through without cloudiness. Crystal-clear cubes look more premium and allow the colour of the fruit to pop in the glass.
Chosen Drink
These cubes are incredibly versatile and work in everything from citrusy spritzes to gin and tonics or even lemonade. As the berries infuse, they subtly enhance both visual appeal and taste, particularly in lighter-style drinks.
Expert Tip
For extra visual impact, try using a silicone jumbo cube tray or spherical moulds. Want a botanical twist? Add a small mint leaf or edible flower with the blueberries in each cube for layered garnish flavour.
