Muddler (or just use the back of a spoon—no need to get fancy)
Measuring spoons and cups
Fine-mesh strainer
Tall glass (12–16 oz works well)
Small bowl for smashing blueberries
Stirring spoon
Ice cube tray
Citrus juicer (optional, but nice to have)
Ingredients
½cupfresh blueberries
½cupunsweetened coconut milkfrom a can or carton—whatever you have
1tablespoonfresh lime juice
2–3 teaspoons honey or simple syruptaste and see what you like
½cupclub soda
Ice cubes
Extra blueberrieslime slices, and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Toss the blueberries and honey into a small bowl.
Muddle them until they’re juicy and kind of messy.
Add coconut milk and lime juice to the blueberry mix.
Pour it all into a cocktail shaker or jar, throw in some ice, and shake it up well.
Strain the mixture into a tall glass packed with more ice.
Slowly top with club soda and give it a gentle stir.
Finish with extra blueberries, a lime slice, and a sprig of mint if you’re feeling fancy.
Notes
Adjust the honey to your liking—some days I want it sweeter, some days not. If you’d rather have a lighter texture, swap coconut milk for coconut water and see what you think.Making a batch for a crowd? Just multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher. Don’t add the club soda until the very end though, or you’ll lose the fizz.Sometimes I muddle in a few mint leaves with the blueberries for extra flavor. If you want to prep ahead, that’s fine, but I always wait to add the ice and club soda until right before serving so it stays fresh and fizzy.
