How to Make Laila Cocktail

  1. Gently muddle the 2 lime wedges, 6 berries, and 1.5 oz mango puree in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Don't over-muddle; you want to release the flavors, not pulverize the fruit.
  2. Add 2 oz vodka and fill the shaker with ice cubes. Secure the lid firmly.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Double strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass to remove any seeds or pulp.
  5. Garnish with 3 fresh blueberries arranged on a cocktail stick or skewer.
