This Blueberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail is very easy to make, tastes scrumptious plus it’s lovely as well; good for summer time!
The trail to this Blueberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail was serendipity. My daughter Emily had come again to Denver for a few days and I took a while off on Tuesday to affix her and her husband Chris for lunch in historic downtown Citadel Rock.
She selected Sienna, a restaurant in outdated Citadel Rock and we lucked out; we had an exquisite lunch. As we have been studying menus the waiter talked about the particular of the day; a primary rib sandwich with grilled onions and Gorgonzola cheese. Sure please…for all three of us!

We additionally ordered some crispy fried calamari that was good and the accompanying purple chili lemongrass French dressing was mild with a candy and spicy style. It was very paying homage to the Mae Ploy Candy Chili Sauce that I maintain available in my fridge.
I don’t usually order a cocktail with lunch however when Emily ordered a Blueberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail, it sounded so good that I used to be fast to observe go well with. It was served in a martini glass and I’ve to say that sadly, it was the one disappointment of the day.
Whereas they did garnish the drink with some blueberries, the ‘blueberry’ a part of this cocktail was merely Pinnacle’s Blueberry Vodka; a reasonable, clear, flavored vodka, fairly presumably the one model I’d by no means purchase. Not precisely what I anticipated…and mixed with a lackluster lemonade it was simply OK.
Belief me, I’m at all times joyful to have a second to get out and have another person put together foods and drinks for me, so I appreciated the corporate and loved it…however thought I may do higher on that cocktail.
Sadly, within the interim, the restaurant has closed and I forgot about my need to do higher. Somebody talked about the restaurant the opposite day and the way unhappy they have been that it was gone and that was my inspiration, it was time to make a Blueberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail, good for any variety of summer time weekends once you’re having firm and want a pitcher of one thing, not only one or two drinks!
The Simplicity of Good Substances
- Recent blueberries for a blueberry easy syrup

By George I feel I’ve finished it with this Blueberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail! I upped the ante on every thing too, combining blueberry easy syrup with lemonade and vodka and a splash of membership soda for fizz.
Whereas I’ll usually juice lemons or limes for a few cocktails, this time round I made it even simpler, utilizing lemonade focus. I needed a cocktail that’s made in amount for summer time occasions and the lemonade was straightforward and good too. Win-win!
Remembering the times once I would die making an attempt to get a restaurant to offer me with a recipe; now I’m pondering the tables have been reversed. In the event that they have been nonetheless round I’d have to supply this one to them!
Too dangerous Emily and Chris can’t simply circle again for one in all these; it might have been enjoyable for all of us to match. I already know what I’ll be making for our 4th of July picnic…it’s good and so completely scrumptious.
