(Optional but recommended) In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, muddle a few fresh raspberries and blackberries with the simple syrup to release their juices.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.

Notes
Want a mocktail version? Just skip the vodka and double the purée and sparkling water—it’s still fruity, fizzy, and fabulous.
No blueberry purée? Muddle fresh or thawed frozen blueberries with a splash of water instead.
Make it even prettier: Chill your glasses beforehand and serve with a sprig of mint for a fresh twist.
Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients by 4 or 6 and mix it all in a large pitcher. Wait to add ice and sparkling water until just before serving.
