Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • Ice
  • 2 oz. light rum
  • 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz. prepared simple syrup
  • Fresh blueberries, for garnish
  • Lemon peel, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  2. Add blueberries and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the blueberries burst, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest, and let it cool for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a clean jar and let it cool to room temperature, around 20 minutes. (This will yield enough blueberry simple syrup for at least 4 drinks.)
  4. Fill a shaker with ice, then add rum, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake until chilled.
  5. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with fresh blueberries and a twist of lemon peel.
