Sprinkled & Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail

If you’ve never been to Palm Springs before, let us paint a picture for you: bright blue desert skies, picturesque mountain backdrops, palm trees for miles and the coolest retro architecture you’ve ever seen. It’s not a mystery why this place is very near and dear to our hearts (and Gray’s too). TheGray Malin at The Parker series, which features all kinds of wild animals on the hotels grounds, is one of Gray's bestselling series! To celebrate the summer, we're whipping up some spiked lemonade that is just our style.







In proper celebratory fashion, we decided to dream up a Parker-inspired cocktail recipe that we will have on repeat on our happy hour menu this summer. The combination of blueberry and lemon are a flavor-match made in heaven. We recommend sipping up this Sprinkled & Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade (inspired by the Parker’s iconic lemonade stand) with a few friends to all enjoy. Here’s how to make a batch of your own. Cheers!

## **Sprinkled & Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail**

**Ingredients:**

- 2 lemons
- blueberry-flavored vodka
- club soda
- agave syrup
- fresh blueberries
- sprinkles of your choice



**Instructions:**

1. For the sprinkled rim: Pour sprinkles onto a plate and rub a lemon wedge onto the rim of each cocktail glass or tumbler. Turn the glass upside down so that the rim is dipping into the plate of sprinkles. Twist your glass, allowing the sprinkles to fully coat the rim.

1. Fill your glass with crushed ice. Mix one part vodka, one part fresh-squeezed lemon juice and three parts club soda. Add a teaspoon of agave syrup (or less if you prefer it less sweet), and drop blueberries into each drink for garnish. Then, enjoy!

If summertime makes you nostalgic for a cold glass of lemonade, then this drink is for you. If you decide to make it at home, share it with us on Instagram using **#GrayMalinattheParker**.
