Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or soda
- Ice cubes
- Lime slices and extra blueberries, for garnish
Optional:
- 1 oz (30 ml) vodka, gin, or white rum per serving for a cocktail version
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Make the Blueberry Base:
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lime juice, and sugar. Heat over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture becomes syrupy.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove skins if you prefer a smoother drink.
2. Assemble the Twister:
- Fill a glass with ice cubes. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the blueberry-lime syrup to the glass (adjust to taste).
- Pour sparkling water or soda over the syrup and stir gently to combine.
3. Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with lime slices, fresh blueberries, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing twist!
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, increase the sugar or honey in the blueberry base.
- This recipe makes enough syrup for 2-3 drinks. Double or triple the recipe for a crowd.
- Leftover syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week and used in other drinks or as a topping for desserts like pancakes or ice cream.
