Method
Cocktail
Muddle
In a mixing glass or small shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Gently muddle 6 of the mint leaves with the syrup to release oils; avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness.
Shake
Cap the shaker or place the mixing glass with a tin and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain into glass
Fill a rocks glass or short tumbler with fresh crushed ice. Double-strain the cocktail over the crushed ice (use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker strainer) to remove mint bits and blueberry solids for a smooth texture.
Garnish & finish
Top with a small handful of additional crushed ice if needed. Gently slap the remaining 2 mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and place a mint sprig on top. Thread 4–6 fresh blueberries on a cocktail pick or drop them into the drink and add a lemon wheel on the rim if desired.
