Why do I feel like I need to call this Blueberry Lavender Cooler something like “Winter is Coming” or “The North Remembers” instead? I’m only half kidding 😉 The purplish blue and cool white tones just make it feel like an appropriate cocktail to drink while watching the Game of Thrones premier on April 14th.

Luscious and creamy, this vodka cocktail has an underlying floral complexity thanks to some easy lavender simple syrup. A dash of fat free half and half smooths over the lavender, while crushed blueberries and their juice give this cocktail a gorgeous purple hue and ever so slight fruitiness. All in all, this beautiful cocktail can be simply described as velvety and delicious. I’m not sure what it is about lavender, but it seems to really set apart the flavor of cocktails and give them that velvety, luxurious feel. 10/10 recommend trying!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Blueberry Lavender Cooler at home:

  • Vodka – We’re keeping the spirits low key to allow the blueberry and lavender flavors to shine through. If you wanted to make this more of a dessert cocktail, you could use a whipped or other sweet flavored vodka.
  • Blueberries – Blueberries bring such an amazing color and flavor to this drink. All you have to do is microwave them for long enough for them to easily burst on the back of a spoon. Other fruits would work, but they won’t give you the same look or pair as well with the lavender.
  • Half and half – I used a fat free half and half to keep the calories a little lower. You could use whole milk or non-dairy milk if you prefer, or even opt for cream to make this really decadent.
  • Lavender simple syrup – This syrup really is simple! You just need sugar, water, and culinary lavender. Bring the sugar and water to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved, then add the lavender and let it steep for a bit.

Cheers to the weekend!

For my macro trackers out there, I wasn’t able to create a My Fitness Pal barcode for this recipe since I would have had to decide for you whether to put the alcohol calories in as carbs or fats – that’s up to you!  The 14 carbs listed here are just for the sugar in the simple syrup, blueberries, and FF half and half.  For my non-macro trackers, here’s more info on what I’m talking about.
