In a pitcher, muddle the blueberries, lemons, and simple syrup until the lemons release their oils and about half of the blueberries are smashed. (If you don’t have a large muddler, a big wooden spoon works great!). Stir in the vodka. Cover and place in the fridge until you are ready to serve (the longer it sits, the more the flavors will infuse).

Right before serving, stir in the sparkling lemon water (or lemon Italian soda). Pour over ice and garnish with lemons and sprigs of rosemary. Tip: I like to twist the rosemary a bit to release their oils. This will make 8 small drinks or 4 big ones!

For A Single Drink

In a glass, muddle the blueberries, lemons, and simple syrup until the lemons release their oils and about half of the blueberries are smashed. Stir in the vodka. Fill the glass with ice, and top with the sparkling lemon water. Garnish with lemons and a sprig of rosemary. Tip: I like to twist the rosemary a bit to release their oils. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Muddling Magic 🫐
Gently muddle fresh blueberries to release their flavor without turning them into a pulp, which helps maintain the cocktail's bright appearance and fresh taste.
Simple Syrup Perfection 🍯
Create a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water when making simple syrup, and let it cool completely before using to ensure a clean, smooth sweetness in your cocktail.
Citrus Zest Technique 🍋
Use a microplane or fine grater to add lemon zest directly into the cocktail for an intense, aromatic citrus burst that elevates the entire drink.
Garnish Like a Pro 🍸
Freeze fresh blueberries beforehand to use as edible ice cubes that keep the drink cold without diluting the flavors, and add a stunning visual element.
Vodka Selection Secrets 🥃
Choose a premium, clean-tasting vodka with minimal burn to allow the blueberry and lemon flavors to shine through without overwhelming the cocktail.
