Instructions
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 2 cups of lemonade. Blend on high until smooth and well-combined.
- Strain the blueberry lemonade mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, if desired, for a smoother texture.
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
- Pour the blueberry lemonade mixture evenly into the glasses, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Top each glass with chilled sparkling water, adjusting the amount based on your preference for fizziness.
- Garnish each drink with fresh lemon slices, a few whole blueberries, and a sprig of mint leaves.
- Stir gently to mix the ingredients, and serve immediately while chilled.
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, muddle a few mint leaves at the bottom of each glass before adding ice.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of lemonade or add a splash of simple syrup.
- For a fun twist, try adding a splash of vodka or gin for a refreshing adult beverage.
