BLUEBERRY GIN
I don't usually experiment with drinks around Christmas. It is usually just wine and champagne served, but I thought I would play around and have some fun this year. I actually got the idea from a friend, when we lived in Spain. They had a party one night and they must have had 20-30 different flavoured bottles of vodka, everything from fruity ones to chili, even jalapeno. All of them they had made themselves by adding the flavoured ingredient, I thought it was so novel and it was interesting tasting all the different flavours, well maybe I didn't try them all, I would have been on the floor if I had. Any way this is a recipe for blueberry flavoured gin, I have not made this before so I can not vouch for how good it will turn out. I am just trying it for something different this year.

Steps:
- In a large bottle pour gin, add blueberries and sugar, shake well and refrigerate for 2 weeks or up to 2 months.
- Shake the bottle from time to time, you will see a marvellous rich colour developing as the days go by.
- To serve: Place a shot of gin in a blender with crushed ice, blend, pour into chilled glasses and top with tonic and garnish with a sprig of mint. Alternatively, serve alone in a small chilled glass with ice cube.
- I will post a photo once my gin is done as I said I only put it in the fridge a few days ago so I will have to be patient until it is done.
BLUEBERRY GIN AND COCKTAIL
Found this on a political site, she was going to celebrate the health care vote with it and had to have the recipe! It takes about a week to dissolve the berries but can be used after two or 3 days. Prep time includes this

Steps:
- Throw the blueberries and gin in a mason jar, and let this sit for about a week (it actually only takes two to three days for the blueberries to dissolve, so it just depends on how blue you want it).
- Boil the vanilla bean and sugar in a cup of water for about 1/2 hour or so, and stick in the fridge to cool (or not, it can be hot if it your pouring it on ice).
- Squeeze 1/2 a lemon in a glass of ice, pour in vanilla syrup to taste, pour in gin. Shake (I like to shake mine in a martini shaker), garnish with a couple blueberries, and drink!
Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet blueberries: This will ensure the best flavor for your gin.
- Use a good quality gin: A gin with a juniper-forward flavor will pair well with the blueberries.
- Let the gin and blueberries infuse for at least 24 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Taste the gin before serving: If it's too sweet, you can add a bit more gin.
- Serve the gin over ice or with a splash of soda water: This will help to dilute the gin and make it more refreshing.
- Garnish with a blueberry or a sprig of mint: This will add a finishing touch to your cocktail.
Conclusion:
Blueberry gin is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give blueberry gin a try. You won't be disappointed!
