Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup water (for simple syrup)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 3–4 lemons)
- 3–4 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- Ice
- Fresh mint sprigs or lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and blueberries burst (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth syrup, pressing solids to extract liquid. Discard solids.
- Prepare Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemons to yield 1/2 cup of juice.
- Assemble Individual Glasses: For each serving, add 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry simple syrup and 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to a glass. Stir to combine.
- Add Ice and Sparkling Water: Fill the glass generously with ice. Top with 3/4 to 1 cup of chilled sparkling water or club soda.
- Garnish and Serve: Gently stir once more. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a lemon slice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Blueberry Lemonade Fizz!
