In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
Remove the blueberry syrup from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using.
In two tall glasses, add 1/2 cup crushed ice to each.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup into each glass.
Slowly pour 1 cup sparkling water or club soda into each glass. Stir gently to combine.
Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the soda in each glass to create the 'a la mode' effect.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the whipped cream for a pie crust-inspired garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw and spoon for the perfect blend of creamy, fizzy, and fruity goodness.
