In a small bowl, muddle the fresh blueberries with grenadine until the blueberries are well crushed and release their vibrant juices.
Fill a tall glass halfway with crushed ice.
Strain the muddled blueberry and grenadine mixture directly over the ice, using a fine mesh strainer or cocktail shaker to remove solids.
In a separate glass or small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice and simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
Pour the lemon juice mixture into the glass over the existing blueberry-grenadine base.
Slowly top off the drink with chilled club soda, pouring gently to retain the layered effect of the colors.
Carefully add the sliced fresh strawberries on top as a garnish, followed by a few fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish.
Garnish the rim of the glass with a lemon slice and serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
