Print Recipe

A quick and easy non-alcoholic spritzer combining fresh blueberries, lemon juice, elderflower cordial, and sparkling water for a refreshing, flavorful drink perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries, washed
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) elderflower cordial
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill the glass
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup of fresh blueberries into a mixing glass or pitcher. Gently muddle the berries with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juice without turning them into a puree (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the muddled blueberries and stir gently to combine.
  3. Mix in 2 tablespoons of elderflower cordial and stir until well combined.
  4. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup and stir until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Fill a serving glass about halfway with ice cubes.
  6. Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled sparkling water over the ice and muddled mixture. Stir gently once or twice to combine without losing the bubbles.
  7. Optionally, strain the mixture into the glass for a smoother drink without blueberry bits, or leave the muddled fruit in for extra texture.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon or a few whole blueberries. Serve immediately.

Notes

Muddle blueberries gently to release juice without pulverizing skins. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Pour sparkling water gently to preserve bubbles. Prepare base mixture ahead and add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz fresh. Substitute elderflower cordial with elderflower syrup or vanilla extract if needed.
