Equipment
- wooden muddler or back of a wooden spoon
- tall cocktail glass
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 5-6 leaves fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup see notes to make your own
- 2 ounces non-alcoholic rum replacement
- 1 ounce lime juice about half a large lime, juiced (2 tbsp)
- 1/2 lime sliced (the portion leftover from juicing)
- seltzer/sparkling water
- crushed ice
Instructions
- Prepare the lime by cutting it in half and squeezing the juice from one half into a small bowl or cup (need about 1 ounce of juice). Set the juice aside, then slice the other half of the lime into slices.
- Add the blueberries, mint leaves, and lime slices to a tall cocktail glass in layers. Pour the simple syrup over top, then use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to mash everything together for about 30 seconds to release the juices and oils.
- Pour the lime juice in the glass, followed by the non-alcoholic rum replacement.
- Add the desired amount of crushed ice, then top off with a splash of sparkling water. Stir to get everything evenly incorporated. Enjoy!

Notes
You can easily make your own simple syrup. Bring 1 cup water and 1 cup organic cane sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for 1 minute until sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Store the simply syrup in a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Try this with other fruits, like blackberries or strawberries!
Use any non-alcoholic rum replacement you'd like. I used Beckett's 27 NA coconut rum.
