for the Blueberry Simple Syrup
- Combine water, sugar, and blueberries in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and cook 5-10 minutes, until blueberries burst. Mash blueberries slightly with a spoon/masher to release more blueberry flavor.
- Remove from heat and pour simple syrup through a fine mesh sieve, discarding solids. Let blueberry simple syrup cool completely and then refrigerate until ready to serve (up to a few days).
Notes
*you'll have way more blueberry simple syrup than you need for 4 cocktails. Reserve extra syrup for more cocktails in your future!
