Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker
• Muddler
• Jigger or measuring cups
• Highball glasses (12 oz)
• Strainer
• Bar spoon
• Ice bucket
• Small knife and cutting board

Ingredients

For each cocktail:

• 6-8 fresh blueberries
• 4-6 fresh raspberries or strawberries
• 1½ oz white rum
• ½ oz simple syrup
• ½ oz fresh lemon juice
• Club soda
• Ice cubes
• Mint sprigs for garnish
• Extra berries for garnish

Instructions

• Add blueberries to the bottom of your cocktail shaker and muddle gently.
• Add ice, white rum, simple syrup, and lemon juice to the shaker.
• Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
• Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice. Leave some space at the top for the club soda.
• In a separate glass, muddle the raspberries or strawberries.
• Carefully pour the red berry mixture over the back of a spoon to float on top of the blue layer.
• Top with club soda for fizz and bubbles.
• Garnish with fresh mint and extra berries on a cocktail pick.

Notes

This cocktail can be made non-alcoholic by substituting the rum with lemon-lime soda or white grape juice. For a stronger berry flavor, let the muddled fruit sit in the rum for 10-15 minutes before mixing.

For larger parties, prepare the blue and red mixtures separately in pitchers. Keep chilled until serving, then build individual cocktails as needed.

The drink is best enjoyed immediately while the fizz is active. The layered effect works best when pouring slowly over ice.

If the berries aren’t sweet enough, adjust the simple syrup amount to taste. No shame in making it a little sweeter if that’s your thing.

Tasting Notes

The Red, White, and Blueberry Fizz cocktail strikes a pretty nice balance between sweet and tart. That first sip? It’s all about the bright, juicy punch of fresh blueberries.

White rum sits quietly in the background, giving the drink a clean, subtle backbone. It’s got just enough mild sweetness to nudge the berries forward, but not so much that it drowns them out or brings too much alcohol heat.

Lemon juice jumps in with a sharp acidity. That tartness is honestly what keeps things lively—it cuts the sweetness and keeps the whole thing from feeling heavy or syrupy.

Then there’s the club soda, which adds a lively fizz and lightens everything up. Those bubbles? They make the mouthfeel way more interesting and help lift some of the drink’s aroma right up to your nose.

Flavor Profile:

• First impression: Sweet berry with a hint of citrus
• Mid-palate: Rum warmth with balanced sweetness
• Finish: Clean, bubbly, and refreshing

The cocktail looks gorgeous, too—a kind of ruby-purple that shifts from darker at the bottom to lighter at the top. That color gradient really draws the eye, doesn’t it?

On the nose, you’ll get a burst of fresh blueberry layered with a little citrus. If you toss on a few fresh berries and a lemon twist for garnish, the aroma really pops.

Temperature matters more than you’d think—this one’s at its best when it’s icy cold. That chill just brings out the crispness and, honestly, makes it perfect for a hot day.
