- Adjust the amount of simple syrup depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- If you don’t have elderflower liqueur, a floral or citrus liqueur like triple sec can work as a substitute.

- Fresh blueberries can also be muddled lightly at the bottom of the shaker for a more intense blueberry flavor.
