I also made my own blueberry syrup, but if you are short on time, make it easy on yourself and use a premade blueberry syrup.
This easy drink recipe will cool you off in no time.
A refreshing drink that is the perfect summer cocktail and can easily serve a crowd when you double the recipe.
Double, or even triple, the recipe and fill a large pitcher, or make each glass individually.
Any way you serve this blueberry lemonade recipe I guarantee it will be the perfect cocktail on a hot summer day.
The flavors of blueberry and lemon are a classic combination. Fresh mint adds an extra summer vibe and slices of lemon are a zesty addition.
Not only will you enjoy sipping on this cocktail, it’s so pretty too!
I love adding fresh mint and slices of lemon.
Fresh blueberries and maraschino cherries will add color and flavor too.
This refreshing cocktail looks pretty when served in a tall glass with a glass straw or even in a mason jar with a handle.
Oh and you can easily make a blueberry mocktail and just leave out the vodka. Still so delicious!
So kick up your feet and savor every sip of a glass of Blueberry Vodka Lemonade. Cheers!
