We’ve invited all of you to stump our in-house mixologist, Blu Bubble, by sending in a unique set of ingredients. Blu then would turn those ingredients into an enticing cocktail, mocktail, or soda recipe… and the first challenge came with some truly summer-inspired ingredients – fresh basil, a collection of sweet berries, and a home SodaStream machine – Mojito style!
Blu Bubble has risen to the occasion with a delightful concoction we’re calling the “Bubbling Basil Berry Bliss”. This refreshing, fizzy, and flavorsome cocktail puts a delightful spin on the classic mojito, capturing the essence of summer in a glass with a bubbly twist thanks to your home soda machine.
But here’s where things get really exciting. We want to keep the “Stump Blu Bubble” challenge going, and we’re inviting all of you to put Blu to the test.
Do you have a combination of ingredients that you think might stump our expert? Or maybe there’s a flavor profile you’ve always wanted to explore but weren’t sure how to incorporate into a cocktail, mocktail, or soda. Whatever your mixology puzzle, Blu Bubble is ready to solve it!
Leave a comment on the post or send us a message with your chosen ingredients. Then stay tuned to see if your mixology challenge gets chosen for our next “Stump Blu Bubble” feature!
Remember, there are no rules in this creative game. We encourage you to think outside the box. Maybe it’s a spicy ingredient like jalapenos, a sweet note like honey, or even an exotic fruit that you want to see in a cocktail, mocktail, or soda. Blu Bubble is here to transform your ingredients into mixology magic!
