My Life Originals: the Blueberry Gimlet
This is something I’ve been thinking of obsessively since I read about a dessert consisting of blueberries cooked in gin and then poured over vanilla ice cream. I haven’t tried the dessert, but I have this instead.
Blueberry Gimlet
3 oz. gin
1 oz. blueberry syrup*
juice of 1/4 lemonStir together gin, syrup, and lemon juice. Pour into a short bar glass full of ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge or berries.
My favorite thing about this drink is that the insane, vivid color is natural.
*I solemnly swear my next post is going to be instructions for the exact blueberry syrup I make and use, which has a wee bit of vanilla in it.
