3 cups lemonade
Fill the cocktail glasses with the desired amount of ice and strain the liquid into them.

Don't have time to wait around for blueberries to steep in a bottle of vodka? Don't fret! You can buy premade blueberry vodka or mix regular vodka with blueberry syrup. Heck, you can even make the blueberry syrup yourself - it's easy and quicker than infusing vodka.
And of course, if you don't feel like making your own simple syrup for homemade lemonade, you can absolutely use store-bought for that as well. Or if you want to go half-homemade, you can even mix store-bought simple syrup with fresh lemon juice!
