Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

Blueberry Vodka Cocktail

  • 1 cup ice, crushed
  • 1 ½ ounces vodka, chilled
  • 4 tbsp blueberry simple syrup (recipe below)
  • 3 ounces sparkling water, or soda water
  • 1 squeeze lemon, optional
  • 4-6 blueberries, for garnish

Blueberry Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

To make your drink:

  • Fill an 8-ounce glass with crushed ice
  • In a cocktail shaker, add more crushed ice, blueberry simple syrup, vodka, and sparkling water. Shake well and strain into glass.
  • Garnish with blueberries, and a squeeze of lemon, if desired.

To make Blueberry Simple Syrup:

  • In a medium-sized pan, set over medium-high heat, add blueberries, sugar, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for about 15-minutes. Break up blueberries with the back of a spoon. The syrup should now begin to thicken.
  • Strain into a mason jar and be sure to press on blueberries with the back of your spoon to extract all of the flavors. Discard solids. Use or let it cool completely and store, for up to 1-month, tightly sealed in the refrigerator. Makes enough for 4-6 cocktails.

Notes

  • Blueberry Simple Syrup keeps sealed in the refrigerator for up to 1 month and frozen for up to 6-months.
  • This simple syrup makes enough for 6-8 cocktails
