Blueberry Gin Fizz Ingredient Highlights

I prefer spearmint over peppermint in this drink, but both will work.

Using fresh lime really brings that bold citrus flavor, which goes a long way in this gin cocktail! One juicy lime should give you enough juice.

You can easily make your own with sugar and water. You can use granulated sugar, brown sugar, or even coconut sugar.

I find that this recipe works best with simple syrup made with granulated sugar. It’s the perfect balance to the citrusy lime, without adding any undertones of vanilla or caramel.

To make simple syrup, just add equal parts sugar and water to a small pot over high heat and continue to whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Next, transfer it to a heat-safe glass and allow it to cool before using it for your blueberry gin cocktail.

Everything you need to make a blueberry gin fizz including lime juice, club soda, simple syrup, mint, fresh blueberries, and gin. — This gin fizz uses fresh blueberries along with fresh mint, simple syrup, lime juice, club soda, and of course, gin.

Gin Fizz with Blueberry Tips and Tricks

Collins Vs Fizz

A Collins and a Fizz have the same key elements, but they have one major difference in technique. A Collins is prepared in the glass it is served in while a Fizz is made in a cocktail shaker and then poured into a glass for serving.

How to Make a Gin Fizz with Fresh Blueberry

The best way to get all of your ingredients well combined and extra chilled is to shake ’em up!

If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar with a lid or just make sure to mix your cocktail up with a spoon.

Add the gin, lime juice, and simple syrup to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Then, add the mint leaves and blueberries to your glass. Use a wooden spoon or a muddler to press down on your blueberries and fresh mint leaves.

The blueberries will burst, allowing their fresh and subtly sweet juices to integrate into your cocktail. As for the mint, muddling really helps to extract the flavor!

Top the muddled mint and blueberries with ice and then pour the contents of the cocktail shaker over top. This way you are getting all the flavor of the berries and mint, but the ice will prevent you from getting little chunks of them in each sip.

Make sure you leave room in your glass for the club soda.

Time to put the fizz in this Blueberry Gin Fizz! Top with club soda for that classic bubbly finish.
