Muddle the Blueberries:

In your cocktail shaker, add the fresh blueberries and simple syrup. Use the muddler to crush the blueberries until they release their juice. The goal is to extract as much flavor as possible.

Mix the Cocktail:

Add the gin and fresh lime juice to the shaker with the muddled blueberries and simple syrup.

Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid.

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also helps to further break down the blueberries.

Strain:

Strain the mixture into a coupe glass or a small cocktail glass. You can double strain it through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a clearer cocktail without any pulp or seeds.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with a few fresh blueberries on a skewer or float a lime wheel on top.

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavor of your Blueberry Gimlet.
