Notes
Store fresh blueberries in the fridge to keep them firm for muddling.
Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a pan. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool before using.
For a mocktail version, replace rum with coconut water or white grape juice.
Frozen blueberries work too - let them thaw slightly before muddling.
The drink tastes best when served right away while the mint is fresh and the club soda is fizzy.
