Summer Cocktail: Blueberry Thyme Limeade

June 11, 2015 in Food, DIY

On a hot summer Atlanta day, nothing is quite as refreshing as a glass of nice lemonade--except for a nice glass of limeade. Actually, better than that, a glass of blueberry thyme limeade! Even better still if you add a shot of icy cold vodka! 

This beautiful summer cocktail is perfect for enjoying on a porch with your friends or even alongside a grilled meal. For extra style, dip the glass rim in lime juice and then sugar to make the rim extra tasty and pretty! Recipe follows.

BLUEBERRY THYME LIMEADE COCKTAIL

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • Zest of 1 lime

  • Juice of about 7 limes

  • 3 cups ice water

  • 10 sprigs of Thyme plus extra for garnish

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1 cup plus 1/4 cup frozen blueberries (1/4 cup reserved)

  • 1/2 cup good quality vodka (if desired)

DIRECTIONS

  • Start by making the limeade. Bring 1/4 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in sugar and lime zest, stirring until sugar is dissolved; remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and ice water. Crush a couple of sprigs of Thyme in the bottom of a pitcher, add the rest in tact, and fill the pitcher with Thyme. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Next, make the blueberry simple syrup. Heat 1/3 cup sugar with 1 cup frozen blueberries. Cook on medium heat until the blueberries begin to fall apart and the mixture thickens. Pour through a strainer into a sealable vessel and discard the blueberry skin. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or until very cool.
  • Slowly pour the blueberry syrup into the limeade and stir to combine.
  • If desired, add 1/2 cup of good vodka to the pitcher and continue stirring. 
  • To serve, rim a glass in sugar and if you like, toss is the remaining 1/4 cup frozen blueberries to the pitcher or put a few in each glass before serving. Fill the glass with icy cool Blueberry Thyme Limeade, add a thin slice of lime and a few springs of Thyme to stir and add to the scent experience.

Daydreaming of this house being my own home. Panoramic views are everywhere in Palm Springs thanks to city ordinances prohibiting building a home more than 1 story high. This way, no one's view is obstructed by another house and every yard (with a pool!) is extremely private! . . . 📷@susiemaedesign
