Syrup Preparation
Make Blueberry Lavender Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of blueberries, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Add Lavender
Once boiling, reduce heat and add 1 tbsp of lavender buds. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the blueberries break down and the syrup thickens.
Strain Syrup
Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container. Press the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and let the syrup cool.
Drink Assembly
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of New Amsterdam Dry Gin and 1 oz of the cooled blueberry lavender syrup. Fill with ice and shake gently for about 10 seconds.
Pour and Top
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with 4 oz of club soda and stir gently to combine.
Garnish
Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of lavender for an aromatic touch.
