Ingredients

4 servings

1 cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
4 tbsp maple syrup
Chef's tip
Use the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1–2 limes)
½ cup cold water
3 cups sparkling water, chilled
2 cups ice cubes

For serving

4 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
4 lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the blueberries, mint leaves, maple syrup, lime juice, and cold water in a pitcher. Muddle firmly with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until the blueberries are fully crushed and the mint is bruised and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup or bowl and pour the muddled mixture through it, pressing the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
