Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 1 oz Blueberry liqueur or blueberry syrup
  • 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz Simple syrup optional, depending on sweetness preference
  • Fresh blueberries for muddling and garnish
  • A few mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Muddle Fresh Blueberries:
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle about 10 fresh blueberries until fully crushed. This releases their juice and flavor, setting the base for your drink.
  • Combine Ingredients:
  • Add the bourbon, blueberry liqueur (or syrup), fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup if using. The simple syrup can be adjusted based on how sweet the blueberry liqueur is and your personal taste preference.
  • Shake:
  • Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Shaking not only chills the drink but also dilutes it slightly, balancing the strength of the bourbon.
  • Strain:
  • Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. A fine mesh strainer can be used to ensure no blueberry skins enter the drink, giving it a smoother texture.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Garnish with a few whole fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint. The mint will add a fresh aroma that complements the blueberries and bourbon beautifully.
  • Enjoy:
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, fruity twist on a classic bourbon cocktail.
