Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cups club soda
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 6 leaves mint leaves
- 6 pieces blueberries (for garnish)
- 2 slices lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, blackberries, granulated sugar, and water over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5 minutes until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the berry syrup from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
Allow the berry syrup to cool to room temperature before using.
In two serving glasses, add ice cubes and 1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice to each glass.
Divide the berry syrup evenly between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
Top each glass with 1 cup of club soda and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with fresh blueberries, lime slices, and a couple of mint leaves for a colorful finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing 'Purple Sky'!
