Blueberry Lemonade Recipe

We had tried a nice non-alcoholic homemade blueberry lemonade recipe which inspired the base idea for this blueberry lemonade vodka cocktail! We love the flavors in this refreshing drink, and if you are looking for more summer cocktails, may we suggest this Tropical Rum Punch?

To make this signature drink of the summer, we started out with gin, which is a perfect balance with lemons. We squeezed some fresh lemon juice, added some limoncello and then added in some basil infused simple syrup to sweeten up the spiked blueberry lemonade. Muddled blueberries add a sweet fruitiness that balances out the tart of the lemons.

The basil syrup (or muddled basil leaves) bring an herbal note that pulls the botanical flavors of the gin into the forefront, making the perfect combination in the drink that reminds you that this isn’t your kiddie lemonade with blueberries! We topped it all with some club soda to lighten it even more.

These summer cocktails can be mixed up in your cocktail shaker as a vodka cocktail, too. Just sub the vodka for the gin, and use your favorite vodka. Also remember to use a fine-mesh strainer when straining the cocktail to get the bits out of the blueberry lemonade spritzer. Try a Blueberry Smash, also!

Tips & Tricks

• For a Crowd – Make this refreshing cocktail easily for a group as a pitcher cocktail. Use a large pitcher or a punch bowl and serve this simple recipe on a hot day!
• Garnish – some easy garnish ideas are a sprig of basil, a sprig of mint, lemon slices or lemon wedge, or frozen blueberries.
• Glass – feel free to use a rocks glass with a large block of ice, or in a highball or other tall glass.

Cheers!
