Equipment

Ingredients

For 2 servings, gather these items:

You can make ginger syrup at home by simmering 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup sliced ginger for 15 minutes. Strain and cool before using.

Instructions

For a mocktail version, skip the vodka and add more club soda.

    Notes

    This cocktail is best made with fresh blueberries when they’re in season. Frozen berries can work too, but let them thaw first.
    The ginger syrup adds a nice kick, but you can adjust the amount to taste. Start with less if you’re not sure.
    For a smoother drink, blend the muddled blueberries and strain before adding to the shaker.
    Try different spirits like gin or white rum for variety. Each will give the drink a unique flavor.

    Tasting Notes

    The Blueberry Ginger Sparkler Cocktail offers a burst of fruity and spicy flavors. Its vibrant purple color catches the eye immediately.

    The first sip reveals a sweet blueberry taste. This is quickly followed by a gentle warming sensation from the ginger. The two main flavors blend smoothly, creating a balanced drink.

    Bubbles from the sparkling water add a refreshing touch. They also help to lighten the overall taste, preventing it from being too sweet.

    A hint of citrus from lemon juice provides a subtle tartness. This brightens the drink and cuts through the sweetness of the blueberries.

    The cocktail has a smooth texture. Ice helps to chill the drink and slightly dilute the flavors as it melts.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitute

    Can’t find blueberries or ginger? No problem. This drink can be made with other tasty options.

    Instead of blueberries, try blackberries or raspberries. These berries will give a similar fruity flavor and pretty color.

    For the ginger, lemon or lime can work well. They add a nice zesty kick. You could also use mint leaves for a cool, fresh taste.

    Don’t have sparkling water? Regular water or club soda can do the job. Even lemon-lime soda could work for a sweeter drink.

    You can swap the vodka for gin or white rum. Non-drinkers can skip the alcohol and still enjoy a yummy mocktail.

    Here’s a quick list of subs:

    With these swaps, you can still make a great drink even if you’re missing some items.
