    Hi,
    Here is one recipe I found, there are probably a lot more on the same site.
    To make it more of a punch than a cocktail I would just fill it up with a bottle or two of cheap lemonade, to taste.

    Hope your party goes well.

    That's not Smirnoff Blue, it's the Norsk. The Norsk is quite nice with a taste of berries, the Blue is very strong.

    As it says in your link it says it (Norsk) is best drunk neat, and I am inclined to agree. It is a bit of a premium Vodka so wouldn't recommend using it in a punch, just get cheap own brand vodka to use in a punch.

    Ah - I love this stuff as a 50/50 mix with soda water! Yum...

    Do you have a coffee grinder? If you stick blueberries in the grinder (so they're properly crushed), spoon them into a glass, then pour over vodka and top up with lemonade. Double-yum!
