Servings: 4
Equipment
- Cocktail glasses
- Sauce pot
- Whisk
- Jigger
- measuring cups / spoons
Ingredients
For the simple syrup
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ⅔ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
For the cocktails
- 8 oz Deep Eddy lemon vodka 2 oz per drink
- 16 oz lemon club soda 4 oz per drink
- 20 oz Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade 5 oz per drink
- fresh blueberries, lemon slices, herbs for garnish
Instructions
- First, make the blueberry simple syrup. Heat a sauce pot to medium heat and add cane sugar, water, and fresh blueberries. Allow blueberries to break down, forming a beautiful berry sauce - it will take 7-10 minutes. Stir every few minutes to avoid blueberries from burning.
- Grab 4 serving glasses and add ice to each one.
- Add ¼ of the blueberry simple syrup (~2 tablespoons) into each glass on top of the ice. You can use less if you’d like your cocktail less sweet.
- Pour in vodka, lemonade, and top with Lemon club soda.
- Garnish with fresh berries, mint, and serve with a straw. This cocktail is going to rock your world.
Notes
Make it your own! Try strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, or cherry simple syrup instead of blueberry.
Make a frozen Blueberry Vodka Lemonade by freezing the lemonade in an icecube tray then adding all ingredients to a blender.
