  • Juice of 2 medium-sized fresh lemons

Liquids

  • 2 cups chilled sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (optional, or preferred sweetener)

Others

  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberries: Wash 1 cup of fresh blueberries and gently mash half of them using a fork or muddler to release their juices while leaving some whole for texture.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Freshly squeeze the juice of two medium-sized lemons directly into a mixing pitcher to provide bright citrus flavor that balances the sweetness.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed blueberries, whole blueberries, and lemon juice into the pitcher. Stir in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or your preferred sweetener until dissolved.
  4. Add Sparkling Water and Ice: Pour 2 cups of chilled sparkling water over the fruit mixture and gently stir to mix without losing too much fizz. Add ice cubes to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Blueberry Lemon Sparkling Drink into glasses, garnish as desired with lemon slices or mint, and serve immediately for optimal fizz and flavor.
