Cheers!

It's Friday my dears! We made it. Fancy a cocktail?

BLUEBERRY BASIL LEMON GIMLET

Via the tart tart

• 4 parts blueberry basil syrup (recipe below)
• 3 parts vodka
• 3 parts fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 2 cups packed fresh basil sprigs
• Seltzer water to top off individual glasses

Stir together all the ingredients into a pitcher filled with ice cubes until cold. Strain into individual glasses, filling them up about 3/4 full. Top off with seltzer water and garnish with basil sprigs. Yum!



BLUEBERRY BASIL SYRUP

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• Zest from one lemon
• 1 pint blueberries

In a medium saucepan, stir together all the ingredients over medium heat until the sugar has melted. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat a little and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

Strain the contents into a bowl, pressing hard against the sieve, then discard the solids. After it’s cooled, cover the syrup and store it in the refrigerator until cold. Easy.
