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 š 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!



Cheers to the weekend!

For my macro trackers out there, I wasnāt 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 ā thatās up to you! Ā The 14 carbs listed here are just for the sugar in the simple syrup, blueberries, and FF half and half. Ā For my non-macro trackers, hereāsĀ more infoĀ on what Iām talking about.
