Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 cups soda water
  • 1 cap (40ml) Sodastream Free Fresh Lemonade soda mix
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup gin (optional)

Garnishes

  • Lemon slices, for garnish
  • Blueberries, for garnish
  • Mint sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit and Mint: Rinse the fresh blueberries and mint sprigs thoroughly under cold water. This ensures they’re clean and ready to infuse flavors into your drink.
  2. Muddle Blueberries and Mint: In a large pitcher, gently muddle the ½ cup of fresh blueberries with the 2 sprigs of mint and 2 tablespoons of sugar to release their natural juices and aromatic oils, creating a flavorful base for your fizz.
  3. Add Lemon Components: Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and the 40ml cap of Sodastream Free Fresh Lemonade soda mix to the muddled fruit and mint mixture for a bright and tangy flavor.
  4. Incorporate Soda Water: Slowly pour 4 cups of chilled soda water into the pitcher, gently stirring to combine all ingredients without losing carbonation.
  5. Add Gin (Optional): If you prefer a cocktail, pour in ½ cup of gin and stir gently to integrate. Skip this step for a non-alcoholic version.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Pour the Blueberry-Mint Fizz into individual glasses over ice. Garnish each glass with lemon slices, a few fresh blueberries, and a sprig of mint for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy freshness.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar amount according to your sweetness preference.
  • For a stronger mint flavor, gently crush the mint leaves before muddling.
  • The Sodastream Free Fresh Lemonade soda mix adds a refreshing lemon flavor but can be substituted with homemade lemonade if unavailable.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand for the best fizzy and refreshing taste.
  • This recipe serves well as a light cocktail or a flavorful non-alcoholic beverage.
