Seasonal 75
Makes one cocktail
- 2 oz gin, preferably Euphrosine #9
- .75 oz blueberry syrup (recipe below)
- .75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 dashes El Guapo® Summer Berries Bitters
- Cava, to top
- Lemon twist, for garnish
In a shaker filled with ice, combine gin, syrup, juice and bitters. Shake well, then strain into flute. Top with Cava. Garnish with lemon twist before serving.
Blueberry Syrup
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
Place ingredients in pot with water and cook on medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Let mixture cool, then pure© and strain. If mixture becomes too thick to pour, thin with basic simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water). Extra syrup will keep refrigerated for up to two weeks.
