How to Make Plum Blueberry Spritzers

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup chopped plums, 8 bay leaves, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir occasionally until the juice reduces to approximately 3 cups and the plums are tender (about 20 minutes).
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, gently pressing with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible.
  4. Set aside the strained bay leaves.
  5. Return the strained juice to the saucepan. Add the reserved bay leaves and simmer over medium heat until the mixture reduces to 2 cups (about 10 minutes).
  6. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
  7. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
  8. To make a single spritzer, whisk 1/4 cup of the cooled plum-blueberry syrup into 1 cup of chilled club soda. Pour into a glass, garnish with a fresh bay leaf (optional), and serve immediately. For a celebratory twist, pour 2 tablespoons of syrup into a champagne flute and top with champagne.
