Blueberry sweetness combines with a touch of soda sharpness to create an easy and refreshing cocktail that is certain to have your guests looking for a re-pour.
Ingredients
-
300-400ml organic gin
-
1.5 litres soda water
-
300g fresh blueberries
-
150g cane sugar
-
5 fresh basil leaves
-
4 ice cubes
Directions
Place the sugar and 150ml of water into a saucepan and simmer over a low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat to medium-low and add the blueberries. Cook, stirring occasionally for 15 mins or until the blueberries have started to soften and break down. Leave to cool, then create a smooth purée with the help of a hand blender (you can also leave it as is).
To serve, spoon 1 tbsp of the blueberry purée into each glass, stir in a single or (preferably) double measure of the gin and top up with soda water. Garnish each glass with a leaf or two of basil and add a few ice cubes. If you want to make it even easier, mix everything together in a big jug and let your guests help themselves.
