Ingredients
Lemonade
- 8 cups water
- 2 cups lemon juice
- 2 cups blueberry syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange blossom water optional
- 1 cup vodka
- 4 cups club soda
Blueberry Syrup
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Start by making the blueberry syrup: in a medium sauce pot, combine blueberries, sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before straining through a fine mesh strainer placed over a large liquid measuring cup or bowl; set aside to cool or refrigerate.
- To make the lemonade, stir together water, lemon juice, orange blossom water, blueberry syrup and vodka. Pour into glasses filled with ice, about 3/4 of the way high, then top each with club soda to serve.
Notes
Storage: syrup keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks; assembled lemonade base (no vodka, no soda) keeps 24 hours.
Make-ahead for a party: make syrup the day before, mix lemonade base that morning, add vodka + club soda just before guests arrive.
Scaling: recipe makes 16 servings; halve all ingredients for 8 servings.
