  • 3-4 oz club soda or sparkling water to top
  • ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • 1 wheel lime for garnish
  • extra blueberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Add blueberries and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and muddle gently to release juices.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor. Adjust sweetness by tweaking the simple syrup. For a stronger berry note, muddle a few extra blueberries. When batching, prepare the blueberry-lime base ahead and add soda just before serving to keep the bubbles lively.
