I have your next favorite blueberry cocktail right here. Made with homemade blueberry simple syrup, vodka and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine cocktail is sweet, dry perfection. Cheers! While this post is sponsored by CK Mondavi and Family Wines and Noble Citrus, the recipe and my love for an incredible wine cocktail are my own.
Call Me An Uber Blueberry Vodka Wine Cocktail
I have a new cocktail for you all to try and I couldn’t be more excited about it! It combines two of my favorite things…CK Mondavi and Family wine and fresh from Florida blueberries from Noble Citrus.
Almost 5 years ago, I created the Call Me A Cab Vodka Wine Cocktail and to this day, it is still the most popular cocktail recipe on my site. Why? One, it’s pretty 😉 And you all love the idea of sweet and dry! So, I made this Blueberry Vodka Wine Cocktail. I think you will like it just as much.
Did you spot my play on the name of this one…my other cocktail is called Call Me A Cab…and since not too many people actually call cabs anymore, I decided that after a few of these, you’ll need to call for an Uber 😉
To make this Blueberry Vodka and Wine Cocktail you only need a few ingredients, one of them being homemade blueberry simple syrup. I’ve been on a homemade simple syrup kick lately. It’s so….well….simple to make…and it adds so much flavor to your cocktail.
Plus, using blueberry simple syrup makes your vodka cocktail absolutely beautiful! And who can resist a beautiful blueberry cocktail?? Not me!
Now, I used fresh Noble New Crop blueberries to make the blueberry simple syrup for this vodka wine cocktail, but you can also use frozen blueberries. I still recommend that they are Noble New Crop Florida blueberries though 😉 Fresh or frozen will work great. I know Florida blueberries will be out of season here soon, so this is the perfect excuse to head to the store and up.
Not sure how to freeze fresh blueberries? I got you!
How To Freeze Blueberries
Blueberry Simple Syrup Ingredients
- Blueberries
- Sugar
- Water
- Fresh lemon juice
Now that we have your blueberry simple syrup ready to go for this cocktail, you need the wine. I used CK Mondavi and Family Cabernet Sauvignon. CK Mondavi and Family Cabernet Sauvignon has a classic, deep red color, rich with cherry and blackberry flavors with a hint of oak. Cabernet Sauvignon is typically a dry red wine, making it a lovely pairing for the blueberries. Not too sweet, not too dry…just perfect.
Another reason I used CK Mondavi and Family Cabernet Sauvignon is because I am a true supporter of the Mondavi family. Just like I am the Roe family of Noble Citrus. These two families not only care about the products that they are delivering to you, they care about YOU. Farmers are absolutely amazing people. They wake up every day to make sure you are getting the products you want to see at the store. For you. For your family.
Someone very smart once told me that without farmers we would all be hungry, naked and sober. And how true is that…So, THANK A FARMER.
CK Mondavi and Family actually has a new Cabernet Sauvignon that will be coming out soon, it will be a darker cab and will also be perfect in this blueberry vodka and wine cocktail. I’ll let you know when it’s officially in stores so you can keep a look out for it.
The complete CK Mondavi and Family collection is available nationwide and includes Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Red Blend, all available for a suggested retail price of $6.99 for a 750 ml bottle., and $13.99 for a 1.5L magnum. The white wine labels feature color-changing thermochromic ink. They change from a light cream to full color when chilled, at approximately 45-50 degrees, showing just the right serving temperature. And like I mentioned, keep a look out for that new dark cab too.
OH, you also need vodka to make this cocktail! Now, I would argue that the most important pieces are the blueberry simple syrup and the wine, but the vodka adds that extra punch. Since you are mixing this one, I wouldn’t say you have to go top-shelf.
Alright, now that you have the blueberry simple syrup, wine and vodka let’s make that Call Me An Uber Blueberry Vodka Wine Cocktail shall we?

Now, the recipe I have for the blueberry simple syrup makes enough for about 6 cocktails, if you aren’t making that many…today…store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Homemade flavored simple syrup is good for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
