How to Make the Berry Electric Cocktail (It’s a Color-Pop Party in a Glass)
Some cocktails are mellow. Some are elegant. But the Berry Electric Cocktail? She’s here to make an entrance.
It’s sweet-tart, sparkling, and impossible to ignore (kind of like your best party friend).
Inspired by McQueen’s Ultraviolet Gin and powered by Blue Curaçao and fresh berries, this drink is part magic, part mouth-party — and totally irresistible.

Wanting To Up My Cocktail Game
Recently, I went digging in my liquor cabinet for a new gin cocktail idea. I found McQueen’s Ultraviolet Gin (which I love) and started playing.
When I added Blue Curaçao, the colors popped, and the flavor turned smooth and citrusy. After a few experiments, I landed on the perfect combo.
I was so excited, I walked straight to my neighbor to give her a taste. Her verdict?
“This could be so dangerous. I love it.”
