- In cocktail shaker or glass, muddle blueberries, basil, and simple syrup.
- Add ice, vodka, and lemon juice. Shake and strain into Collins or tall, narrow glass filled with ice.
- Top off with club soda. Garnish with basil leaf and blueberries.
- To make Simple Syrup: Stir a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water in a small saucepan (i.e., 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water). Heat the sugar mixture just to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the mixture is clear, about 5 minutes; do not stir.
- To muddle the drinks, use a muddler—a long stick similar to a pestle used to mash fruits, herbs and spices in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or glass.
