Sweet blueberries and tart lemonade are a match made in summer heaven — and when you combine them with a healthy dose of moonshine, magic happens.

This Blueberry Lemonade Moonshine is fruity, bright, and perfectly refreshing with a little kick that sneaks up on you!

Perfect for summer parties, tailgates, or sipping under the stars.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
• 2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 8–10 lemons)
• 1½ cups simple syrup (1½ cups water + 1½ cups sugar)
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups Everclear (or another high-proof neutral spirit)
• 1 cup vodka (optional for smoothing the flavor)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• Optional: extra blueberries and lemon slices for garnish

Tip: Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and color, but frozen berries work perfectly if that’s what you have.

Equipment

• Saucepan
• Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
• Large pitcher or mixing bowl
• Mason jars or bottles

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Blueberries

In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Bring to a light simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Simmer for about 10 minutes until the blueberries burst and release their juices.

Step 2: Add the Simple Syrup

Stir in the simple syrup and simmer for another 5 minutes to combine all the flavors.

Step 3: Cool and Strain

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher.

Press lightly on the blueberries to extract all that good juice without forcing too much pulp through.

Step 4: Add the Alcohol

Once fully cooled, stir in the Everclear and vodka (if using).
Mix thoroughly.

Note: You can use only Everclear if you want a much stronger shine, or adjust with vodka for a smoother sip.

Step 5: Bottle It Up

Pour the Blueberry Lemonade Moonshine into clean mason jars or bottles.
Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Storing and Serving

• Refrigeration: Keep refrigerated. Best enjoyed within 3 months.
• Flavor Tip: Let it sit for 24–48 hours before drinking for the flavors to fully meld.
• Serving Ideas: Serve chilled over ice, mix into lemonade spritzers, or blend with ice for a frozen treat.

Final Thoughts

This Blueberry Lemonade Moonshine is everything you love about summer — sweet, tart, vibrant, and dangerously smooth.

It’s the perfect homemade drink to bring to a party or stash in your fridge for an instant taste of sunshine whenever you need it.

Cheers!
