A vibrant, crowd-pleasing large batch cocktail combining blue raspberry vodka, fresh lemon juice, lemonade, and sparkling water. Perfect for parties and easy to make in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Blue Raspberry Vodka (e.g., Skyy Blue Raspberry)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice (about 6–8 lemons)
  • 4 cups (960 ml) Lemonade (store-bought or homemade, chilled)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) Simple Syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Sparkling Water (chilled)
  • Ice (as needed for serving)
  • Fresh Blueberries or Lemon Slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Juice the lemons: Roll lemons on countertop, cut in half, and juice until you have 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.
  2. Make simple syrup (optional): Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until sugar dissolves completely. Cool before using. Alternatively, use pre-made simple syrup.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour 2 cups (480 ml) blue raspberry vodka, 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemon juice, 4 cups (960 ml) lemonade, and 3/4 cup (180 ml) simple syrup. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Add sparkling water: Just before serving, add 2 cups (480 ml) chilled sparkling water to keep the fizz fresh. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Chill and serve: Add plenty of ice to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

Keep sparkling water separate until serving to maintain fizz. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Adjust simple syrup to taste. Pre-chill lemonade and sparkling water to avoid dilution. For lower sugar, reduce simple syrup or substitute with honey or stevia syrup. Can substitute vodka with gin or rum. Non-alcoholic version possible by omitting vodka and adding extra lemonade and sparkling water with blue raspberry syrup.
