Using a muddler or a fork burst the berries against the sides of the cup
Transfer blueberry/rosemary syrup to the bottom of high ball glass

Slowly pour the mineral water to fill up the glass, if you pour too quickly the layered effect will dissipate
For garnish- using the top 2 inches of the rosemary sprig, peel the leaves from the stem leaving enough room for the remaining 3-4 blueberries to be threaded onto the bottom of the stem. Thread the blueberries and gently toss on top of mocktail.
