Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 cup Club soda
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 slices Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly (around 5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry syrup cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove the blueberry skins, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
Fill two serving glasses with ice cubes.
Divide the fresh lime juice evenly between the two glasses.
Add 2 tablespoons of the blueberry syrup to each glass.
Top each glass with club soda and give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Blue Heaven mocktail!
