Ingredients

Syrup

2 1/4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup granulated sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit blend, or preferred sugar substitute)
1 cup filtered water
1 tsp lemon juice

Soda & Assembly

Ice
1 cup club soda (per 2 servings)
1/4 cup sugar free blueberry syrup (homemade from above)
3 tbsp half & half

Toppings (optional)

1/4 cup whipped cream

Instructions

Making the Syrup

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup filtered water, 1 cup granulated sweetener, and 1 tsp lemon juice; stir until combined.
Add 2 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and stir to coat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally — simmer about 15 minutes.
Mash the blueberries with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to release juice.
Turn heat to medium and simmer another 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat, let cool a bit, then strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing solids to extract syrup.
Chill the syrup in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.

Assembling the Soda

To assemble: add 3–4 ice cubes to a tall glass, fill halfway with club soda, add 1/4 cup blueberry syrup, and slowly pour in 3 tbsp half & half.
Top with whipped cream if desired and stir gently to combine before sipping.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries when fresh aren’t in season. Adjust sweetener in syrup to taste. Dairy-free option: substitute half & half with full-fat coconut milk.
