Blueberry & Gin

The Cosmopolitan — Las Vegas

This place was over the top.  It’s  crystals, crystals everywhere that you look.  But, the purple glow reminds me of the elegant (yet flashy) flavors in this cocktail.

For this cocktail, we use pure 100% blueberry juice.  It’s barely sweet.  If you like a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup or use a sweetened juice.  And, you can omit the club soda.  Just add an extra splash or two of blueberry juice.

The delicate fruity floral notes in blueberry juice and gin work beautifully together.

Blueberry & Gin
makes 2

3-4 ounces blueberry juice
2 ounces gin
club soda, if desired
twist of lime

Place over-sized ice cubes in two rocks glasses.  Then, add blueberry juice and gin.  Top with a splash of club soda, if it pleases you.  If it doesn’t?  Don’t.  Garnish each glass with a twist of lime.

Cheers!
