Inspiration: The inspiration for this drink comes from the lush forests of Finland, where wild blueberries and thyme can be found.
The fresh blueberries provide a subtle fruity flavor, while the thyme adds a herbal note to balance the sweetness of the blueberry syrup.
The vodka adds a strong kick, and the lemon juice provides a touch of sourness to balance out the sweetness.
The Angostura bitters add a hint of bitterness to round out the flavors.
The result is a deliciously balanced cocktail that captures the essence of the Finnish forest.
