Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  • 3 cups sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and mint for garnish

Directions

  • In your All-Clad D3 Stainless Everyday 3 Quart Saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. Warm over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the syrup slightly thickens.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into an All-Clad Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids and let the syrup cool completely.
  • Once cooled, stir in the fresh lemon juice until fully combined.
  • For an extra refreshing touch, prepare large ice cubes in advance by filling your All-Clad Pro-Release 12-Cup Muffin Pan with water and freezing.
  • To serve, fill each glass with the blueberry-lemon syrup, top with sparkling water, and add a couple of your oversized ice cubes.
  • Garnish with a bright slice of lemon and a fresh sprig of mint for a burst of color and flavor.
