Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • cocktail shaker

Ingredients
  

For the Syrup

  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cocktails

  • 1 ½ ounce homemade blueberry syrup or more to taste
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 3 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce triple sec
  • Ice
  • Seltzer water about 12 ounces
  • Garnishes of choice*

Instructions
 

  • Combine blueberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  • While the blueberries are simmering, use a fork to crush them thoroughly and release all of the juices.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Pour blueberry syrup through a fine mesh strainer, pressing down with a spoon to press juices through the strainer.
  • To make your cocktail, begin by combining homemade blueberry syrup, lime juice, gin, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously for about a minute. 
  • Pour the mixture evenly between two 16-ounce cocktail glasses, straining out the ice.
  • Add fresh ice to each glass, then fill to the top with seltzer water.
  • Garnish with fresh blueberries, a sprig of mint, and/or edible flowers.

Notes

*Use fresh blueberries, fresh mint, a wedge of lime, or edible flowers for a garnish
In a pinch, feel free to use hot blueberry syrup, but your drink will become slightly watered down.
