Ingredients

For the Cocktail

  • 4 ounces gin
  • 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ounces blueberry syrup (recipe below)
  • Club soda, to top
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh blueberries, for garnish
  • Sprigs of thyme, for garnish

Blueberry Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries have broken down, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids. Store the syrup in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Mix the Cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 4 ounces of gin, 2 ounces of fresh lemon juice, and 2 ounces of the prepared blueberry syrup. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Strain the chilled cocktail mixture evenly into the glasses. Top each glass with club soda and stir gently to combine.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each drink with a sprig of thyme and a few fresh blueberries. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled.
  • The blueberry syrup can be stored refrigerated for up to 1 week.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of syrup or sugar in the syrup recipe to your preference.
  • This cocktail can be easily scaled for larger gatherings by multiplying the ingredient quantities.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to ensure a smooth syrup free from blueberry skins and seeds.
