A bright and refreshing drink that combines the sweet and sour tastes of blueberries and lemon with the soft floral notes of lavender. Vodka is added for extra kick.
Ingredients: 1 cup blueberries. 2 tablespoons dried lavender buds. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup water. 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice. 2 cups vodka. 4 cups sparkling water. Ice cubes. Lemon slices and fresh blueberries for garnish.
Instructions: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lavender buds, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and let the syrup cool completely. In a large pitcher, combine the blueberry lavender syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, vodka, and sparkling water. Stir well to mix. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the blueberry lavender hard lemonade over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh blueberries. Serve chilled. Enjoy responsibly!
