Ingredients

  • 3 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 oz cold water
  • 3 oz blueberry simple syrup
  • 2 oz vodka
  • ice
  • fresh blueberries for garnish
  • lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the lemon juice, water, blueberry syrup, and vodka to the shaker. Cap and shake vigorously until chilled (about 15-20 seconds).
  • Divide the blueberry vodka lemonades between two lowball glasses filled with ice, garnish, and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Variations and Substitutions
  • Adjust the ratio of water to lemon juice to your desired tartness level. If the homemade blueberry lemonade is too tart for you, increase the amount of water (one ounce at a time) until your perfect level of tart-to-sweet is reached.
  • Add fresh herbs. Fresh mint or fresh basil would be great additions to this refreshing drink. There are a few ways to do this. Option 1 is to add fresh herb leaves to your cocktail shaker to help release the flavors. Option 2 is to garnish your drink with a sprig of fresh mint or sprig of fresh basil.  
  • Add some bubbles. Top with a splash of club soda or sparkling water for a sparkling blueberry vodka drink.
 
To make this into a large-scale pitcher cocktail, add 1.5 cups lemon juice + 1.5-2 cups cold water + 1.5 cups blueberry syrup + 1 cup vodka to a large pitcher and stir to combine. Store the pitcher in the fridge, without ice, until ready to serve. When ready to serve, you can add ice to individual glasses or into the pitcher.
