Drink of the Day: Blueberry Lemonade

July 26, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

A fellow bartender who works with me at Ray’s Place in Fairlawn, Ohio came up with this cocktail and has become a big hit with our clientele. A nice refreshing beverage, great for this time of year. A perfect combination of sweet and sour, with some fresh blueberries, can never be wrong and will keep your thirst satisfied.

Fresh blueberries are what make this cocktail stand out. The perfect blend of sugar and citrus along with the fresh fruit gives you a great adult beverage to enjoy while cooking the burgers out on the grill and enjoying friends and family. This Drink of the Day will surely make your Saturday a relaxing one.

Method: In a mixing glass, drop in the raspberries and pour in the simple syrup to measure. Muddle the two ingredients together, pulverizing the flavor of blueberries into the simple syrup. Add the vodka to measure. Add ice to the mixture. Pour in the lemonade to measure. Cap and shake well to blend the ingredients. Pour contents into a tulip glass. Add a little more ice.
