- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup lemonade
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lemon slices and blueberries for garnish
Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the blueberries have burst. This should take about 5 minutes.
Strain and Cool: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the blueberries to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids and let the blueberry simple syrup cool.
Mix the Cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker or a tall glass with ice. Add the blueberry simple syrup and lemonade
Shake and Serve: If using a shaker, shake well until the outside is frosty. If using a glass, stir until all the ingredients are combined. Pour the drink into a glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon slice and a few fresh blueberries.
