Instructions

Muddle Blueberries and Shake

Start by tossing some blueberries, maple syrup, and the juice from one lime wedge into a cocktail shaker. Give the fruit a good crush with a muddler to release those flavors. Next, add plenty of ice and pour in the whiskey. Pop the lid on and shake everything well until the mixture feels nice and cold, about 15 to 20 seconds.

Serve with Ice and Soda

Grab a rocks glass and fill it with ice, then strain your cocktail right over the top. Finish it off with a splash of club soda for a little fizz. Use the leftover lime wedge to garnish, and you’re all set to enjoy!
