Whether you’re hanging out by the pool or slaving over yard work, this is the libation to refresh yourself with. It’s invigorating and not overly sweet—just naturally fruity from the frozen blueberries and the fresh-squeezed lemon! The perfect summer cocktail for those who like it simple.
If you’re looking for more summer sippers, definitely give my classic margarita a go. Or, if you’ve got a thirsty crowd, whip up a batch of this watermelon sangria with prosecco! And of course, cocktails should always be paired with some nosh. This easy taco dip with cream cheese is always a hit, as is this Texas caviar.

Ingredients for Blueberry Vodka With Club Soda
A full ingredient list with exact measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
- Blueberries—Since originally posting this recipe, I’ve switched to frozen blueberries over fresh. They help keep the drink nice and chilled, and they give the club soda or seltzer a beautiful magenta hue.
- Mixer—Club soda or seltzer is fine. To add flavor, I like to use a flavored seltzer that would compliment the blueberry and lemon flavors, like pomegranate or honestly just lemon.
Recipe Variations & Modifications
- Blueberries—You can definitely use fresh instead of frozen.
- Fresh mint—To add a nice cooling effect, add a sprig of fresh mint to your glass!
- Simple syrup—If you prefer a little bit of sweetness, go ahead and add about 1/4 oz of simple syrup to the mix.
- Raspberry/lime—I’ve actually completely shaken things up with this recipe before and used raspberry vodka instead of blueberry, and lime juice instead of lemon. Same formula with a bit of a different flavor profile.
How to Make It
This recipe is incredibly simple! Here’s all you do:
- Prepare your glass. Fill about 3/4 of a cocktail glass with ice, then add some frozen blueberries on top.
- Add your liquids. Add the vodka and fresh lemon juice to the class first, then slowly pour the seltzer over top (avoid too much fizz).
- Stir it up. With a straw or cocktail stir stick, give the mix a little stir.
- Garnish. Add a lemon wedge and if you’d like, a fresh sprig of mint.
What to Serve This With
It’s important to have SNACKS nearby when imbibing. Always. Because this Blueberry Vodka With Club Soda is so mellow, you can enjoy anything from Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes to spicy Air Fryer Buffalo Wings! These are also great for pizza night, whether you’re enjoying a modest Grandma Pie Pizza or an adventurous Dill Pickle Pizza.

What lucky friends you have!! I noticed your photos don’t include straws and that’s probably a good thing! Could you imagine the damage if you were sipping these summer treats through a straw?
Hmmm blueberry vodka muffins…
Funny you say that Bernice, we always use straws, LOL. (I have an adorable collection of paper straws in my kitchen at all times.) I just decided to forego the straws in this photoshoot. But yeah, you’re totally right. Using straws is dangerous and we always end up getting right wrecked. If we ever hang out, I’ll bring the straws! Lol <3
Deal!
Love the easy factor (I approve of anything that I can do mostly with my eyes closed). As usual, your cocktail game is on point and this will definitely one to add to my ever growing list of cocktails I’ll make for friends…now to find some friends.
*raises hand* I’m friends!
If we lived close to one another, I think it would be dangerous, not gonna lie. Lol.
Amazing photos Dana! I love how versatile this cocktail is … like you said, mix it up with raspberries and lime. It’s truly a perfect afternoon sipper.
Thanks, Sam! Definitely my go-to. I want to try and come up with a fall-themed vodka fizz, though cool and crisp isn’t a priority in a cocktail at tat point. Maybe something apple-y :)
LOL… “If any friend of mine is looking at these photos, they’re probably pinching their eyes or squeezing their temples in a fit of hangover flashbacks.” Sounds like parties at our place! I could easily (and happily) knock back a few of these delicious bevvies! I love the simple, clean flavour combinations and the vibrant, gorgeous colours in this post. It’s always a pleasure collabing with you, Dana! Cheers to many more installments of Connecting Over Cocktails!
Like I said to Jen, I can say the same for you: if we lived close to one another, I think it would be dangerous. Lol. Dangerously awesome, nonetheless. Thanks so much, gf! I love this tradition and already can’t wait for fall’s collab!
This looks like my kind of summer drink. Blueberries and lemon are such a great combo and I love that it’s not overly sweet.
Thanks, Natalie! I love the combo of blueberries and lemons, too. Great in desserts, and even better with vodka, lol.
Blueberry vodka – yasssss! I love the simple ingredients you’ve added to make cocktail perfectly refreshing for the summer! I think this would be just the perfect summer sipper poolside or lakeside and I can’t wait to make them for my friends very soon! Cheers Dana!
Thanks, Jess! Let me know what you think if you do whip some of these bad boys up. They’re perfect for any occasion and easy to make, even after already having a few ;)
What a great refreshing drink, Dana! Bright, not sweet, with that citrus kick, and…well…the blueberry vodka that goes so well with it :-) . We’re not big drinkers, but I’m sure if you topped my glass off with this Blueberry Lemon Vodka Fizz I wouldn’t mind ;-) …
Thank you! Yessss, the blueberry vodka adds such a wonderful note to make up for no sweetness, which totally works for me. I’d be more than happy to top your glass off with one of these bad boys :)
whhaaa… that sounds so good! Simple, fresh ingredients. Love it. (and I’m happy to hear you don’t drink vodka in the morning)
Haha. Because brunchy Caesars don’t count, right? No? Okay good.
