Blueberry Gin & Tonic
This refreshing cocktail combines a blueberry-infused gin with premium tonic water and a squeeze of citrus.
Ingredients
For the Blueberry-Infused Gin
- ½ cup blueberries (I recommend using frozen)
- ½-¾ cup gin of choice
For the Cocktail
- 2 oz blueberry-infused gin
- squeeze of lime juice (or lemon, if you prefer)
- 4-6 oz premium tonic water (like Fever-Tree or Q Mixers)
Instructions
For the Blueberry-Infused Gin
- Add the frozen berries to a mason jar. Pour the gin over the berries.
- Screw the lid on the mason jar and shake gently. Allow the mixture to infuse for 1 hour, then strain out the blueberries, reserving the gin.
- Store any leftovers in the closed mason jar, preferably in the refrigerator. Discard if the infusion begins to look or smell off.
For the Cocktail
- Fill a highball or balloon glass with ice. Pour the blueberry-infused gin over the ice.
- Squeeze a lime or lemon wedge into the glass and stir to chill.
- Top with chilled tonic water and stir gently to combine. Garnish with gin-soaked blueberries, if desired.
Notes
Infuse the gin for anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 days, depending on how strong you want the berry flavor to be. If using fresh berries, it will take longer to infuse.
