Servings: 4 glasses

Equipment
Ingredients
Blueberry “Syrup”
- 1 cup fresh blueberries plus some extra for serving if desired
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Flavored Water Beverage
- Ice I like lots of crushed ice
- 4 Izze Mandarine-Lime Sparkling Waters or similar sparkling waters such as lime or lemon-lime
- 3 to 4 limes
- Fresh mint optional
Instructions
- Place the fresh blueberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10–15 minutes.
- Mash the blueberries and strain the liquid, discarding the solids or using in a smoothie/different recipe. (I blended the remaining blueberries up in a smoothie the next day.)
- If desired, rim the glasses in sugar. Simply press the top of the glass in a bowl of water and the wetted top of the glass into a small bowl of sugar. Shake off the excess.
- Fill up 4 glasses to the top with crushed ice—really pack in the ice!
- Fill up the glass with the blueberry syrup. Allow the syrup to settle into the ice, then fill up the glass with Mandarine-Lime Sparkling Water.
- Stir and add in some freshly squeezed lime.
- Taste and adjust the drink to personal preference (adding more syrup, more sparkling water, or more lime).
- If desired, garnish the glass with fresh mint and add a handful of fresh blueberries into the glass.
