Lemon-infused simple syrup, to taste (see recipe)*
Ice (medium cubes)
Lemon flavored sparkling mineral water/seltzer

Muddle blueberries, mint leaves, cucumber slices and lemon-infused simple syrup* in the bottom of a glass of your choice. Add ice and mineral water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Garnish with mint sprig, blueberries and lemon slices.
*Lemon-infused simple syrup:
Add 1 tbsp lemon zest to 2 fluid oz of basic simple syrup recipe, replacing sugar with a natural low-glycemic sweetener such as stevia, monk fruit, allulose or xylitol. Instead of boiling the mixture, bring it to a simmer while gently stirring to dissolve and let cool and strain. Make sure and check proportions for the sweetener you use.
