Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 1/2 cup (120 ml) water and bring to a low boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the blueberries and reduce the heat to a simmer. Use a wooden spoon to crush the berries, allowing their juices to release, and continue to simmer for 20 minutes. Press the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and discard the solids.
- In a blender, combine the berry syrup, rum, and lime juice. Add the ice and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
BLUEBERRY DAIQUIRIS
Steps:
- Cook blueberries, water, and 1/4 cup sugar in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan at a full boil, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids, then discarding them. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and let stand, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 5 minutes.
- Fill a large cocktail shaker three-fourths full of ice cubes. Add blueberry syrup, rum, and lemon juice and shake vigorously 5 seconds. Add sugar to taste, shaking to combine, and strain into 4 (12-ounce) glasses filled with crushed ice.
STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRIS - (BLUEBERRY & RASPBERRY VARIATIONS)
The Simple Syrup recipe makes enough for three batches of strawberry daiquiris or two batches of the blueberry or raspberry variation. The syrup is also handy for sweetening iced tea. I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your daiquiri the best flavor. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Use a good quality rum: The rum is the main ingredient in a daiquiri, so it's important to use a good quality rum. Look for a light or white rum that is at least 80 proof.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will also give your daiquiri the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
- Don't over-blend your daiquiri: Over-blending your daiquiri will make it too watery. Blend your daiquiri just until the ingredients are combined and the ice is crushed.
- Serve your daiquiri immediately: Daiquiris are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make your daiquiris ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to shake them well before serving.
Conclusion:
Blueberry daiquiris are a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new and exciting cocktail to try, I highly recommend the blueberry daiquiri.
