Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sparkling Blueberry Ginger
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, blueberries, fresh rosemary, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until fragrant and blueberries have burst. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a jar, and stir in maple syrup and lemon juice.
  2. Allow the blueberry syrup to cool slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Refrigerate if you prefer a chilled beverage later.
  3. Fill each glass with ice cubes generously. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of prepared blueberry syrup into each glass.
  4. Top each glass with about 1/2 cup of sparkling water, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles. Stir gently to combine without losing fizz.
  5. Taste your mocktail and customize it further by adjusting sweetness or sparkling water as needed.
  6. For an extra flavor touch, add a few dashes of orange bitters to each glass, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
