Blueberry Vodka Lemonade
I love blueberries and lemons during the hot summer months. They are refreshing and you get that perfect tart/sour combination that makes your tastebuds go wild.
I’ve made everything from Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars to Lemon Depression Cake.
That is where this Blueberry Vodka Lemonade comes into play.
It is easier than it looks to make and not only is it beautifully layered in taste, but it’s a showstopper to serve.
How do you layer a drink successfully?
The secret to layering drinks successfully relies on two things:
- Starting with the heaviest liquid in the drink—or the liquid with the most sugar content. That gets poured as the first layer into the glass.
- A drink layering tool. Trust me, this is entirely worth the money! You can also use the upside down spoon trick but I really think this drink layering tool is a total game changer!
What You Need To Make A Blueberry Vodka Lemonade
- Torani vanilla syrup
- Fresh blueberries
- Blue food coloring
- ICE Lemonade sparkling water
- Lemon
- Yellow food coloring
- Vodka
- Drink Layering Tool – This makes that perfect layered drink so much easier!
How to Make A Blueberry Vodka Lemonade
Begin with rinsing fresh blueberries and drying them off with a paper towel, place 12 of them in a small pitcher.
Add vanilla syrup to blueberries and one drop of blue food coloring, stir, pour into glass.
Next, add layering tool to glass, and allow the floater to rest on top of blueberry layer.
Slowly, pour lemonade into cup and allow a few seconds for the lemonade to settle on top of the blueberry layer.
Remove layering tool and take 1 slice of lemon place in glass.
Mix vodka, 1 drop of yellow food coloring, and a splash of lemonade in pitcher, stir and pour into glass on top of lemon slice.
Garnish with lemon slices and blueberries.
Serve and enjoy!
