Blueberry Gin Fizz

This blueberry gin fizz puts a summery and fruity twist on the classic gin fizz cocktail. The botanical notes of gin are paired with a sweet blueberry simple syrup and bright and zingy fresh lemon juice. Chilled club soda adds a touch of effervescence, keeping this summer cocktail refreshingly cool. This purple-hued cocktail is light, crisp, and perfect for summer gatherings or lazy evenings on the patio.

Summer is meant for no-bake desserts and sipping on refreshing cocktails by the pool! I have an easy gin cocktail to share with you that makes blueberries the star!

Just like many other cocktails, you can turn this drink into a mocktail. Simply leave out the gin and add a little more club soda.
