Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Fresh blueberries
  • 1 ounce Non-alcoholic elderflower syrup
  • 1/2 ounce Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 ounces Sparkling water club soda, or non-alcoholic sparkling wine
  • 1 cup Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint sprigs For garnish
  • 1 Lime wheel For garnish

Equipment

  • Muddler
  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Long Cocktail Mixing Spoon
  • Fine-Mesh Strainer optional

Method
 

  1. Muddle the Base: Add the fresh blueberries, elderflower syrup, and freshly squeezed lime juice into the bottom of a highball or wine glass. Use a muddler to firmly press down and crush the blueberries until they break apart and release their deep purple juices into the syrup.
  2. Fill the glass almost to the brim with fresh ice cubes to quickly chill the muddled fruit base.
  3. Top with Fizz: Pour the sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine slowly over the ice until it reaches the edge of the glass.
  4. Stir and Blend: Insert a long bar spoon down to the bottom of the glass. Gently stir upward to bring the muddled blueberry and elderflower layer through the sparkling water, turning the entire drink a vibrant, beautiful light pink hue.
  5. Garnish: Clap a fresh mint sprig between your palms to release its aromatic oils and tuck it into the ice alongside a fresh lime wheel.

Notes

Pro Tips & Variations
 
  • Elevate with Zero-Proof Spirits: If you prefer a more complex, adult bite that mimics a classic gin cocktail, add 1.5 ounces of a zero-proof botanical spirit (like Seedlip Spice 94 or Monday Zero Alcohol Gin) to the shaker before building the drink.
 
  • The Clarity Trick: If you dislike getting small bits of blueberry skin or seeds caught in your straw, muddle the berries, lime, and syrup in a cocktail shaker first. Shake with ice, then pass it through a fine-mesh strainer into your ice-filled serving glass before adding your sparkling topper.
