Method

House-Made Blueberry Bae Syrup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blueberry Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Syrup

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Strain the Syrup

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the blueberries to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

  4. 4

    Store the Syrup

    Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar. This syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Making the Blueberry Mule

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glass

  2. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of the house-made blueberry syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  3. 7

    Add Ginger Beer

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Top off with 4 oz of ginger beer and gently stir to combine.

  4. 8

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish the drink with 5 fresh blueberries and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
