Ingredients

2 cups fresh blueberries washed and stems removed
1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4-6 lemons
1/2 cup agave syrup adjust sweetness to taste
2 cups sparkling water chilled
1 cup ice cubes for serving
1 tablespoon lemon zest freshly grated
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves for garnish
extra blueberries for garnish

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries and agave syrup. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and released their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry mixture cool for a few minutes before straining it through a fine mesh sieve to separate the juice from the solids.
In a large pitcher, combine the strained blueberry juice, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.
Slowly add the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine without losing the fizz.
Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the blueberry lemon mixture over the ice until the glasses are three-quarters full.
Garnish each glass with a few whole blueberries and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing touch.

Notes

Tip 1: For an extra twist, add a splash of elderflower cordial to the mix for floral notes.
Tip 2: This mocktail can be prepared in advance; just mix the blueberry and lemon juice and add the sparkling water just before serving.
Variation: Substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a different citrus flavor.
