Tasting Notes

This Blueberry Lemon Drop Slushies frozen drink is tart, fruity, and just sweet enough. The blueberry preserves add a bold berry flavor that stands out against the sharp bite of lemon. Vodka gives it a clean kick, while frozen lemonade and ice make it cold, thick, and perfect for sipping. It’s bright, icy, and refreshing with every sip. The sugar-rimmed glass adds a light sweetness on the edge that balances the tart lemon. A few fresh blueberries and a lemon wheel make it look just as good as it tastes.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a good blender that can handle ice for that smooth slushy texture. A jigger will help measure the vodka and lemon juice accurately. Grab a small plate for rimming your glasses with sugar. A spoon or small spatula will help scoop the preserves into the blender cleanly. Serve these slushies in stemless wine glasses, rocks glasses, or anything wide enough to hold the frozen mix. Straws or cocktail spoons work great for sipping and scooping.

Ingredients

4 oz vodka
½ oz lemon juice
10 oz frozen lemonade
2 tbsp blueberry preserves
Granulated sugar (for rimming)
Garnish: lemon wheels and fresh blueberries

Instructions

Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into granulated sugar to coat. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, mix the blueberry preserves with lemon juice.
In a blender, combine frozen lemonade, ice, and vodka to a blender. Blend until smooth and slushy.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the blueberry mixture into the bottom of each prepared glass. Pour the blended lemon drink into the glasses, then top with the remaining blueberry mixture.
Top with a lemon wheel and a few fresh blueberries.

Pro Tips

Use good-quality preserves for the best blueberry flavor—look for ones with real fruit.
If your slushie is too thick, add a splash more lemonade or water to loosen it up. Too thin? Add a few extra ice cubes.
Always taste before serving and adjust with more lemon juice or preserves if needed.
Chill your glasses ahead of time for an extra-cold drink that stays frozen longer.
Rim the glasses just before pouring to keep the sugar from melting.

When to Serve

This frozen cocktail is made for hot days, summer parties, and backyard BBQs. It’s also a fun choice for brunch, girls’ night, or casual happy hours. Serve it when you want something cold, colorful, and easy to drink. Because it’s fruit-forward and sweet-tart, it’s a crowd-pleaser even for those who don’t usually go for strong cocktails.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

Use a smooth vodka like Tito’s, Smirnoff, or Absolut for the cleanest taste.
You don’t need anything fancy, just something neutral and easy to blend.
Choose a frozen lemonade that isn’t overly sweet—brands like Minute Maid or store-brand concentrate both work well.
For blueberry preserves, go with Bonne Maman, Smucker’s Natural, or any variety with whole fruit and minimal added sugar.
