Ingredients

6 ounces blueberry simple syrup (¾ cup)
12 ounces blueberry vodka (1 ½ cups)
16 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 cups) about 10 to 12 lemons
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
ice
sparkling water

Instructions

Make the blueberry simple syrup and let it cool completely.
Add ice to a pitcher. Stir vodka, lemon juice, and blueberry simple syrup in the pitcher to mix together.
Add ¼ cup of fresh blueberries to each glass. Muddle blueberries until they are slightly mashed.
Add ice to each glass on top of the blueberries, then pour blueberry vodka lemonade on top. Top with a splash of sparkling water, if desired. Stir to combine.
Makes 6 to 8 servings. See notes if you're only making 1 serving.

Notes

Fresh lemons add a bright flavor to the lemonade. However, if you're short on time, you can use a store-bought lemonade. Simply adjust the simple syrup to taste, depending on desired sweetness.
You can also use frozen blueberries in place of the ice.
For an individual (1 serving) cocktail: Add blueberries to a glass. Muddle until they're lightly mashed. Top with ice. Add 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) blueberry vodka, 3 ounces (6 tablespoons, about 2 lemons) fresh lemon juice, 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) blueberry simple syrup to the glass. Add a splash of sparkling water. Stir to combine.
