Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1 cup simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 4 cups cold water or soda water
  • Ice for serving
  • Fresh mint for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large pitcher
  • Measuring cups
  • Stirring spoon
  • Juicer (optional)
  • Glasses for serving

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the fresh blueberries under cold water.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts water and sugar to make simple syrup. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then let cool.
  3. Juice the fresh lemons until you have about one cup of lemon juice.
  4. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, vodka, and simple syrup. Stir gently to combine without crushing the blueberries too much.
  5. Pour in the cold water or soda water, depending on your preference for fizziness.
  6. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  7. Fill glasses with ice and pour the chilled blueberry lemonade vodka over the top.
  8. Top each drink with a sprig of fresh mint for garnish.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, muddle a few blueberries at the bottom of your glass before pouring in the drink.
