Key Flavor Notes:

- Secondary: Tart lemon
- Finish: Light, bubbly
The taste changes slightly as the drink sits. The blueberry flavor becomes more pronounced after 2-3 minutes, while the fizz slowly mellows.
Fresh mint garnish adds an optional cool, herbal note that pairs well with both the blueberry and lemon. The aroma enhances the drinking experience.
Temperature affects the taste profile. Serving the drink ice-cold (35-40°F) makes it taste sharper and more refreshing. At room temperature, the sweetness becomes more noticeable.
