Equipment and Glassware

You don’t need much to make this mocktail, which makes it perfect for any home setup.

Cocktail shaker or mixing glass
Jigger or measuring tool
Strainer
Rocks glass

A rocks glass works well because it holds ice and shows off the layered colors. If you don’t have a shaker, stirring in a glass works just fine.

How to Make It

This mocktail is simple to build, and the steps are easy to follow. It comes together quickly, making it great for any occasion.

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass, then dip into salt. Fill the glass with ice.
In a shaker or mixing glass, combine lime juice, pineapple juice, and blueberry syrup. Shake or stir well.
Strain or pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
Add sparkling water to fill the glass and stir gently.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and a pineapple slice.

Give it a quick taste before serving. If you want it sweeter, add a little more syrup. If you want more citrus, add extra lime juice.
