Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s break down the shopping list. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Fresh blueberries (or frozen, if that’s what you have—no judgment here)
• Lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best, but bottled works in a pinch)
• Simple syrup (easy to make at home, I’ll show you how!)
• Vodka (a good-quality vodka makes all the difference)
• Club soda (for that crisp finish)
• Ice (because warm cocktails are usually a no-go)
• Optional garnish: Lemon slices and a few extra blueberries for flair

Simple Syrup Recipe (Because Store-Bought is Overrated)

If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, don’t stress. It’s just sugar and water—literally. Here’s how to make it in five minutes:

1. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan.
2. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Remove from heat, let it cool, and store it in the fridge. Boom, done.

How to Make the Blueberry Lemon Bliss Cocktail

Alright, let’s get down to business. Follow these steps and you’ll have a picture-perfect cocktail in no time.

1. Muddle the Blueberries

Grab a cocktail shaker and toss in a handful of fresh blueberries. Use a muddler (or the back of a spoon, if you’re improvising) to crush them up and release all that juicy goodness.

2. Add the Liquids

Pour in 2 oz vodka, 1 oz lemon juice, and 3/4 oz simple syrup. Shake it all up like your life depends on it (okay, maybe not that dramatically, but you get the point).

3. Strain & Serve

Strain the mixture into an ice-filled glass. This step ensures you get all the flavor without random blueberry chunks floating around.

4. Top with Club Soda

For that light, bubbly finish, add a splash of club soda. It’s like a magic touch that makes everything more refreshing.

5. Garnish & Enjoy

Throw in a few extra blueberries and a lemon slice for a little pizzazz. Then, take a sip and pat yourself on the back—you just made a killer cocktail.

Why You’ll Love This Cocktail

• It’s insanely refreshing. Perfect for hot days, but honestly, good any time of year.
• It’s easy to make. No fancy bartender skills required.
• It’s gorgeous. Seriously, the deep purple hue with a lemon slice on top? Chef’s kiss.
• It’s customizable. Want it sweeter? Add more simple syrup. Need it stronger? More vodka. Feeling fancy? Try gin instead.

Pro Tips for the Best Blueberry Lemon Bliss Cocktail

I’ve made this drink way too many times (for research purposes, of course), so here are a few tips to level up your cocktail game:

Use Fresh Lemon Juice

Bottled lemon juice just doesn’t hit the same. Freshly squeezed juice makes all the difference—trust me on this one.

Try Flavored Vodka

Want to get extra creative? Use blueberry- or citrus-infused vodka for an even bolder flavor.

Adjust the Sweetness

Not a fan of super sweet drinks? Cut back on the simple syrup or swap it with honey for a different kind of sweetness.

Chill Your Glass

A cold glass keeps your drink icy longer. Just pop it in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
