The Story Behind The Blueberry Sour
This delicious cocktail came to me when I was mixing up some drinks last week for a client. At the end of the day I had this amazing blueberry simple syrup laying around, so I decided to try combining with other spirits and mixers to see what worked.
Luckily, everything tastes good with blueberry syrup. But I think this sour celebrates the flavor best, as it’s not hidden behind complex spirits. The lemon juice balances the syrup’s sweetness, and citrus really brings out the blueberry flavor.
