In a cocktail shaker and the fresh blueberries and sugar if using.

Crush the blueberries with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a wooden spoon. Muddling will release all the blueberry juice and release beautiful colors into the cocktail shaker.

Pour 1 ounce of blueberry vodka into the shaker.

Add the lemonade.

Add the cover to your shaker and shake for thirty seconds. Strain the cocktail with a fine-mesh strainer. This will remove all the blueberry seeds and skins. If you want a more rustic cocktail, feel free to skip this step.

Pour the strainer drink back into the shaker and add some crushed ice. Put the cover back on and shake again for thirty seconds. Shaking the ice will quickly cool your drink without diluting it.

Pour your blueberry vodka lemonade cocktail into two fancy glasses or a mason jar. Add frozen blueberries to keep your drink cool and lemon slices for garnish.
