Last Christmas Eve I hosted a last-minute family gathering with gifts, appetizers, and drinks. I needed something quick, tasty, and festive. This lemon blueberry vodka spritzer fit the bill perfectly.
The recipe is straightforward and relies on a few tasty components: lemon-flavored sparkling water, blueberry vodka, and honey simple syrup. You can make individual drinks quickly, or scale it up into a punch for a larger crowd.
Lemon Blueberry Vodka Spritzer
Begin by preparing a honey simple syrup. It’s an easy, flavorful way to sweeten cocktails and adds a smooth, natural sweetness that complements the blueberry vodka.
To make the syrup: combine equal parts water and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the honey dissolves and the mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and allow it to cool before using.
For the cocktail, use blueberry-flavored vodka for a fruity lift. If you prefer, you can infuse your own vodka with fresh berries, but a store-bought flavored vodka works well and keeps this recipe quick and fuss-free.
Place the blueberry vodka, honey simple syrup, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake or stir until chilled, then strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.
Top the cocktail with lemon-flavored sparkling water for a bright, fizzy finish. Other sparkling flavors such as lime, berry, or blackberry also work well — offer a few options if you want guests to customize their drinks.
Garnish with thin lemon slices, a handful of fresh blueberries, and a sprig of rosemary for an attractive, seasonal touch that also adds aroma.
