Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries – Fresh blueberries add a burst of fruity flavor and a beautiful color to this drink. If fresh blueberries aren’t available, thawed frozen blueberries work just as well.
Simple Syrup – Simple syrup, made from sugar and water, sweetens the cocktail and balances the tartness of the lemon. It’s easy to make at home—just simmer equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves.
Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the drink a bright, tangy flavor. If you’re out of lemons, a splash of lemonade works as a substitute, though it will make the drink slightly sweeter.
Vodka – Use your favorite vodka for this recipe. If you’d like to switch things up, you can substitute gin or tequila for a different twist.
Club Soda – Club soda adds a refreshing fizz. Seltzer or sparkling water also works well. For a sweeter cocktail, try lemon-lime soda or ginger ale instead.
How to Make Blueberry Lemon Fizz Without a Cocktail Shaker
No shaker? No problem! Here are two easy ways to mix up this drink without one:
- Use a travel coffee mug – Muddle the blueberries with simple syrup in the mug. Add the lemon juice, vodka, and ice. Secure the lid, close the mouth opening, and shake well. Pour over ice and top with club soda.
- Stir it up – Muddle the blueberries with simple syrup in the bottom of a glass or pitcher. Add the lemon juice, vodka, and ice, then stir well. Top with club soda and garnish with lemon slices and blueberries.
Blueberry Lemon Fizz Mocktail
For a non-alcoholic version of this drink, simply leave out the vodka. You’ll still enjoy the sweet-tart combination of blueberries and lemon with the fizzy finish of club soda. It’s a delicious, refreshing drink everyone can enjoy!

Hosting a party? You can easily make a big batch of Blueberry Lemon Fizz in advance:
- Scale up the ingredients based on how many servings you need.
- In a large pitcher or bowl, muddle the blueberries to release their juices.
- Add the simple syrup and lemon juice, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in the vodka and stir again.
- Refrigerate the mixture (without ice or club soda) until you’re ready to serve.
- When serving, fill glasses with ice, give the mixture a good stir, pour over ice, and top with club soda. Stir gently and garnish with lemon slices and blueberries.
