Huckleberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail Recipe

This Huckleberry Lemonade Cocktail is sweet, tangy, and the perfect refreshing summer beverage! It’s loaded with just about as much huckleberry flavor as you could want and garnished with a lemon twist and fresh thyme.

If you’re able to get your hands on a bottle of huckleberry vodka, you won’t regret whipping up a glass of this delicious and refreshing Huckleberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail. This drink is made with huckleberry vodka (if you’re lucky), huckleberry lemonade, AND huckleberry jam for all of that delicious berry flavor. 

Ready in just a few short minutes! 

Ingredients Needed:

• Potato Vodka - if you can find huckleberry vodka, that’s a win. Otherwise, any variety will work. I use 44 North vodka, but use your favorite.
• Huckleberry Lemonade - 44 North also has a huckleberry lemonade, so if you can find that go for it. If not, another variety will work.
• Limoncello - gives the cocktail a delicious, fresh citrusy flavor.
• Huckleberry Jam - whatever variety of huckleberry jam you can get your hands on will work.
• Ice - to chill, of course. You’ll use ice to shake and to serve.
• Garnishes - we’re making the drink extra pretty with a lemon twist and a sprig of fresh thyme.

How to Make a Huckleberry Lemonade Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lemonade, and limoncello over ice. Shake to chill. 

To a highball glass with ice, add the huckleberry jam, then strain the cocktail over the top. Swirl with a spoon to mix, then garnish with a lemon twist and fresh thyme. 

What Flavor is Huckleberry Vodka?

The flavor of huckleberry vodka is often compared to that of blueberries. It’s sweet with a subtle tartness. And it’s oh-so-good! 

Substitution for Huckleberry

If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of huckleberry vodka, you won’t want any substitutions. However, sometimes those bottles of liquid gold are hard to come by. In that case, you can sub the huckleberry vodka out for any variety of 44 North vodka. Torani makes inexpensive huckleberry syrup for drinks. You can whip up a batch with your favorite brand of lemonade and Torani Huckleberry Syrup for a fabulous berry flavor. 

If you’re looking for a total huckleberry makeover, you can either find another cocktail recipe (there’s a lot of huckleberry in this drink) OR swap anything huckleberry out for a different flavor. Raspberry would be delicious!

Tips and Notes

• Use all the ice! You’ll use ice to shake the drink AND to serve the drink. The colder the better. 
• Serve immediately. Once the drink is fully assembled, don’t wait too long before you enjoy it. If it sits too long, the ice will melt and you’ll dilute all that yummy huckleberry flavor.
• Blend it. I love this drink on the rocks, but if you want to switch things up, try throwing the huckleberry lemonade in a blender with ice cubes. This will give you a blended frozen drink that can be served in a margarita-style glass. 

Can I Make This in Advance?

Once it’s fully assembled, no. The ice will start to melt and the drink will become watery. However, you can combine the vodka, lemonade, and limoncello in a glass jar if you would like. I would wait until you’re just ready to serve to add the jam or syrup for the best flavor.
