Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (150g), for muddling and garnishing
- ¾ cup lavender syrup (180ml)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (120ml), about 3-4 lemons
- 1 cup vodka (240ml)
- 1 cup club soda or sparkling water (240ml)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Lemon slices and fresh lavender sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Place 1 cup fresh blueberries into your cocktail shaker or jar. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to gently crush them, releasing their juice but not pulverizing them into mush (about 1-2 minutes).
- Pour in ¾ cup lavender syrup and ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir or shake gently to combine the flavors (30 seconds to 1 minute).
- Add 1 cup vodka to the mixture. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend all ingredients evenly.
- Fill cocktail glasses halfway with ice cubes to chill the glass and keep the drink crisp.
- Pour the cocktail mixture into the prepared glasses over the ice. Optionally, use a fine mesh strainer to catch blueberry pulp for a smoother texture.
- Top each glass with about ½ cup (120ml) of club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to mix without losing bubbles.
- Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh lavender before serving.
Notes
Avoid over-muddling blueberries to prevent bitterness from seeds. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor. Add club soda just before serving to maintain fizz. Lavender syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
