Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 5 minutes minutes

Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Highball glass
• Muddler or wooden spoon
• Jigger or measuring cup
• Bar spoon or long-handled spoon
• Ice

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 4-5 oz tonic water
• 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedge and extra blueberries for garnish

Good quality vodka makes a difference.

Instructions

• Add blueberries to the glass. Muddle gently to release juices.
• Fill the glass with ice cubes.
• Pour in vodka and lime juice.
• Top with tonic water.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon.
• Garnish with a lime wedge and a few blueberries.

Muddle the berries just enough to break them open. Don’t crush them too much, or the drink will be cloudy.

Notes

This recipe is easy to adjust. For a stronger drink, add more vodka. For a lighter version, use less vodka and more tonic. Frozen blueberries can replace fresh ones, and they’ll also help keep the drink cold.

Try different berries like raspberries or blackberries for variety. Gin can swap in for vodka, and lemon juice works instead of lime. Serve in a wine glass for a fancy look.

You can also make a big batch for parties. Mix vodka, lime juice, and muddled berries ahead of time, and add tonic water just before serving.

Tasting Notes

The Blueberry Vodka Tonic offers a refreshing blend of flavors. Its taste is crisp and light, with a subtle sweetness from the blueberries.

The first sip reveals a bright, tangy note from the tonic water. This is quickly followed by the smooth, clean taste of vodka. The blueberry flavor comes through as a gentle, fruity undertone.

This cocktail has a pleasant balance of sweet and tart. The blueberry adds depth without overpowering the other ingredients, while the tonic water provides a fizzy texture that tickles the tongue.

The drink’s aroma is mildly fruity with hints of citrus from the tonic. Its color is a soft purple, thanks to the blueberry juice or syrup used.

This cocktail pairs well with light appetizers or as a pre-dinner drink. It’s best served cold to enhance its refreshing qualities.

Substitute

Blueberry vodka can be swapped out for other ingredients in this cocktail recipe. Gin makes a great alternative, giving the drink a botanical twist.

For a non-alcoholic version, use blueberry-flavored sparkling water or soda.

The tonic water can be replaced with club soda for a lighter taste. Lemon-lime soda adds sweetness. Ginger ale brings a spicy kick to the mix.

Fresh blueberries can be switched for frozen ones when out of season. Blackberries or raspberries work well too.

For a different flavor profile, try using sliced strawberries or muddled peaches.

Lime juice can be swapped for lemon juice. This gives a brighter, more tart flavor. Orange juice adds sweetness and pairs nicely with the blueberry.

Simple syrup isn’t required, but adds balance. Honey or agave nectar can be used instead.

For a sugar-free option, try stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

Experiment with these substitutes to create your own unique blueberry cocktail variations. Mix and match to find your perfect blend of flavors.
