Blueberry Syrup
Our matriarch was coming up on 70 good years and I was charged with developing some custom cocktails for her surprise party. It was a job I took on with glee.
I wasn’t sure where I was going to go with it but the first custom cocktail would be developed around a wild blueberry simple syrup.
Frozen blueberries, sugar, and water boiled, simmered, strained, chilled, and stored in an enormous old pickle jar.
This delicious and sweet syrup inspired Mamacita’s Mojito. Baccardi rum, fresh squeezed lime juice, fresh mint, and of course wild blueberry simple syrup, garnished with frozen blueberries served over ice. A delicious cocktail for a wonderful woman at a fantastic party.
