Good to know

Triple 8 vodka is made on Nantucket and is available only regionally in New England. If you can't get it, substitute any good quality blueberry vodka.

Vodka is a "grain neutral spirit" and is less likely to lead to hangover than a darker spirit like scotch.

For people who don't drink much - or on a super hot day - you can make this into a spritzer by adding sparkling water.

If you don't entertain much or are serving cocktails for the first time, this is a very simple but somewhat unique mixed drink that almost everyone enjoys, and it's lighter than a martini.
