Ingredients
For the blueberry syrup
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
For the cocktail
- 2 ounces aged rum
- ¾ ounce blueberry syrup
- ¾ ounce lemon juice
For the garnish
- Blueberries
- Slice of lemon
Preparation
Step 1
Make the blueberry syrup: Place the blueberries and water into a medium pot and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often. While the mixture is still hot, carefully strain the mixture through a sieve and into a heatproof bowl. Reserve the strained liquid and discard any solids that have been left behind in the strainer. Measure 1 cup of the warm strained blueberry liquid and place it into a bowl. Immediately add the sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Step 2
Make the cocktail: Place the rum, blueberry syrup, lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Pour the cocktail up into a coupe and garnish with a skewer with a few fresh blueberries and a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
