Grab a tall glass (or a jug if you’re making enough to share). Toss in those fresh blueberries and mint leaves. Now, take a muddler or the back of a spoon and gently mash them together. Don’t go overboard, you’re not trying to puree them, just release those beautiful juices and flavors.

Cut your lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Stir everything together to mix the blueberries, mint, and lime juice. Then, drizzle in the honey. Give it another stir and admire your colorful concoction.

Fill the glass with ice cubes. Don’t skimp here, the ice keeps everything crisp and cool. Leave a little space at the top, though; we need room for the sparkle.

Slowly pour in the sparkling water. Go slow, or you’ll end up with a bubbly mess (been there, cleaned that). Stir gently to combine, and voilà! Your mocktail is ready.

Now for the fun part, garnishing! Add a lime slice and a sprig of mint to the top. It’s a small touch, but it makes you feel like you’ve got your life together. Pro tip: If you’re feeling extra, pop a few whole blueberries on a cocktail skewer for a cute garnish.

Take that first sip, close your eyes, and pretend you’re lounging on a beach somewhere. You deserve this.
