Put the cucumber, half of the blueberries and the mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to muddle it until crushed and juicy. Add a handful of ice, the vodka and lime juice. Cover shaker and shake for about 15 seconds, until the shaker develops a nice coat of condensation on the outside.
