Blueberry Infused Vodka Lemonade

DSC_0043

Ingredients:
Vodka (not the cheapest kind)
1/2 c. fresh blueberries
1/2 c. frozen blueberries
1 tsp. sugar
Lemonade
Lemon slices, for garnish

Directions:
Pout the fresh blueberries in the bottom of a mason jar.  Pour the vodka over the berries, filling the jar.  Use a fork to mash up the berries in the bottom.  Put on the lid and store in the fridge for at least 12 hours to allow the blueberries to infuse into the vodka.  The vodka will turn cloudy right away, and become purplish the longer it infuses.

Once the 12 hours (or longer) are up, strain the vodka.  Save the liquor soaked berries for a garnish. 

In a small bowl, thaw out the frozen berries and mix with sugar.  In a fresh mason jar or glass of your choice, pour in the sugared berries (divided between 2 glasses) and add some ice.

Pour in 1 part blueberrie vodka and 2 parts lemonade.  Give it a good stir.  Add a few vodka-soaked berries and a lemon slice for garnish.
