1
Muddle the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh blueberries and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the blueberries to release their juices and flavor.
2
Add Vodka and Basil
Pour the blueberry vodka into the shaker and add the fresh basil leaves. Lightly muddle the basil leaves with the back of a spoon to release their aromatic oils, but do not shred them.
3
Shake the Mixture
Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice, using a fine mesh strainer to catch any blueberry pulp.
5
Top with Soda
Pour the lemon-lime soda over the strained mixture in the glass, stirring gently to combine without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional fresh blueberries and a sprig of basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
