Notes

Pro Tips

  • Berry freshness: Use ripe, fresh blueberries for maximum flavor, or substitute with thawed frozen berries if fresh are unavailable.
  • Club soda alternatives: For a sweeter twist, substitute club soda with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water with a hint of blueberry or citrus.
  • Rosemary prep: Lightly roll the rosemary sprig between your hands to release its natural oils before garnishing.
