Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pint blueberries
1 cup water
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
¼ cup crushed ice
2 tablespoons orange juice
¼ cup club soda
1 slice orange

Steps:

  • Bring blueberries, water, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, crushing the blueberries occasionally with a masher. Remove from heat and let cool, about 10 minutes. Pass the mixture through a food mill or fine mesh sieve to remove the skins of the blueberries. Set aside 1/4 cup syrup and store the remainder in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Place crushed ice in a glass. Add reserved blueberry-ginger syrup and orange juice. Top off with club soda and stir to combine. Garnish with orange slice.
