Fill an eight-ounce glass with crushed ice.
In a cocktail shaker, add more crushed ice, blueberry simple syrup, vodka, and sparkling water. Shake well and strain into glass. Garnish with blueberries and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
TO MAKE BLUEBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP: In a medium-sized pan set over medium-high heat, add blueberries, sugar, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes. Break up blueberries with the back of a spoon. The syrup should now begin to thicken. Strain into a mason jar and be sure to press on blueberries with the back of your spoon to extract all of the flavours. Discard solids. Use or let it cool completely and store, for up to one month, tightly sealed in the refrigerator. Makes enough for 4-6 cocktails.
