  • 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

  • 3 fresh blueberries, for garnish

  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

  4. Strain the muddled mixture over the ice, pressing gently to extract the juices while leaving behind large solids if desired.

  5. Top with sparkling lemonade and stir gently to combine.
