Drink of the week: A Blue Lemon

Drink of the week: A Blue Lemon

Blueberry-flavored vodka, lemonade, and Sprite go into making this drink. The flavored vodka adds a nice twist to a fairly standard concoction. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it is a refreshing turn.

 
EXPERIENCE: This is a very sweet drink, though not in a bad way. The blueberry and lemonade combined create an unusual blend of flavors that kept me sipping. The blueberry kicks in first, the lemonade and Sprite making up the zesty aftertaste. Honestly, it goes down like candy.

 

ADVICE: The ocean-blue tinted clearness of its appearance belies the punch this drink packs. I only got halfway through mine before it started to kick in. I highly recommend this, at a moderate pace, and I usually hate blueberry.
