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!

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.

Yield 1 bottle

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 (250 -300 g) package blueberries
6 tablespoons sugar
700 ml gin

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.

Tips:

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Just thaw them before using.
Use a good quality gin. A London dry gin is a good choice.
Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to taste. You can also add a dash of orange bitters.
Garnish your cocktail with a few blueberries and a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

Blueberry Gin and Cocktail is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new cocktail to try, I highly recommend Blueberry Gin and Cocktail.
