As easy as it gets, the Blueberry Sparkler combines fruit, gin, and a little bit of fizz. It’s an uncomplicated and delicious take on a simple gin and soda drink, and what little effort it requires to make will be repaid tenfold in taste. Mason jar drinks cry out for simplicity. Serve something too fancy in a repurposed jar and it just doesn’t make sense. The Blueberry Sparkler packs all the flavor of a mixologist’s most complex creation with the elegant ease of a gin and tonic.
