Soda water (preferably club soda)

Prepare the Blueberries: In a shaker, muddle the fresh blueberries with the sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, and fresh mint leaves until the sugar is dissolved, and the berries are broken down.
Add a Floral Note (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor, add 1 tablespoon of elderflower liqueur to the mixture. This will give a subtle floral aroma that pairs beautifully with the blueberries.
