Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup freshly pureed blueberries (about 1/4 pint whole berries. strained if desired (I did not strain mine!))

    Simple syrup is a simple and easy way to make your favorite cocktails. Simply combine equal parts sugar with water in a small saucepan over medium heat until all the sweetness has been dissolved (no need for boiling!), remove from heat then allow it to cool completely before using as desired.

Drink

  1. 1

    Fill a cocktail shaker (or makeshift one) half way with ice. Pour in whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, pureed blueberries, & honey. Place lid on and shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds.

    Add ice to a small whiskey glass. Strain beverage into cup and serve immediately.

  3. 3

    Drizzle some extra honey on top if desired!
