I love a good summer cocktail, especially one bursting with fresh fruit. I wanted to make this recipe as a play off a gin fizz – with blueberries instead of sloe gin and fresh lemon and club soda for a refreshing texture.
Start by mudding blueberries, mixing them with gin and lemon, and topping it with a club soda floater. You can even get adventurous and steep your gin with blueberries and lemon peel for a few hours before serving, for extra flavor.

Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! Just thaw them out (or run them under hot water for a few minutes) until they are soft enough to muddle or crush with a spoon.
Yes, you can – it’ll likely be sweeter, so make sure to mix the cocktail without the simply syrup first (or else it could be too sweet).
You sure can – vodka or a light rum would be great alternatives in this cocktail.
