I’m not a fan of the kind of cocktails that put hair on your chest.
You know the ones, right?
The ones that sort of burn going down and you make the face and say, “Ahhhh!” right after you drink them.
Yep, those are not my jam.
The breeze blows me more in the direction of light, sweet, refreshing cocktails that sort of taste like grown up Juicy Juice.
The kinds that make you forget that you are actually drinking a cocktail if you aren’t careful.
And a million bonus points to it if is super pretty too.
These blueberry vodka lemonade cocktails are all of the above.
Refreshing, tart, sweet, and don’t taste like alcohol at all.
Perfect for summer nights sipping on the patio.
Ingredients and Kitchen Supplies
To make this you’ll need:
- Blueberry Lemonade– Our homemade blueberry lemonade combines blueberry simple syrup and light lemonade. You could use store bought blueberry lemonade if you must but the blueberry flavor won’t be as good.
- Vodka– You have options here. You can use blueberry vodka, plain vodka, or a citrus vodka.
- Limoncello– For an extra shot of lemon flavor.
- Optional garnishes– Mint leaves, blueberries, and lemon wedges
Kitchen supplies you would need include:
Tips for Before You Start
- Make the blueberry simple syrup ahead of time so you have time to chill it. To make the simple syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water together on the stove over medium low heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the an equal amount of blueberries. Let them simmer until the burst then strain the liquid and refrigerate it.
- Decide if you serving a pitcher of cocktails or if you are serving some non alcoholic blueberry lemonade along with the blueberry vodka cocktails. If you plan to serve a full pitcher of the cocktail, you can add the liquor directly to the pitcher in a larger amount. If you are making individual cocktails, you’ll add a smaller amount of liquor to each individual glass.
How to Make Blueberry Vodka Lemonade Cocktails
1. Make the blueberry lemonade.
Stir blueberry simple syrup into lemonade until combined.
2. Add the alcohol for a large batch.
If you are making large batch blueberry vodka lemonade cocktails, add 8 ounces of vodka and 8 ounces of limoncello to the blueberry lemonade. Stir. Pour into glasses with ice.
OR…
3. If you are making individual cocktails.
If you are making individual servings only, add 1 ounce of vodka and 1 ounce of limoncello to a glass with ice.
Then fill the remainder of the glass with blueberry lemonade and stir.
4. Garnish and serve.
Garnish each cocktail with fresh blueberries, lemon wedges, and mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
If you are making a big batch of blueberry vodka lemonade cocktails, you can store any leftovers in the pitcher in the fridge for a few days.
FAQs
Is vodka and lemonade a good mix?
Yes! It’s so summery and perfect for sipping in the heat.
Does blueberry vodka taste good?
When paired with blueberry lemonade it is very nice. On it’s own, I find it very strong but sweet. It’s definitely less intense than unflavored vodka!
Tips and Tricks
- You can absolutely make a pitcher of the blueberry vodka lemonade ahead of time before a party etc. Just keep it refrigerated until you plan to serve it.
- Changing the vodka flavor will change the flavor of the drink but this does work with blueberry vodka, plain vodka, citrus vodka, or even raspberry vodka all with slight variations in flavor.
- Just be aware that this drink is one of those cocktails that does not taste like alcohol at all! It’s very sweet and has the tendency to sort of sneak up on you so be careful 🙂
- You could also make it a double berry vodka lemonade cocktail and use half raspberry simple syrup and half blueberry simple syrup in place of all the blueberry simple syrup and then use half blueberry vodka and half raspberry vodka.
