Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 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 over medium heat, combine sugar and water, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Add blueberries and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the blueberries have burst, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest, and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Strain the mixture into a clean jar and let it cool to room temperature, approximately 20 minutes. (This will yield enough blueberry simple syrup for at least 4 drinks.)
  5. Fill a shaker with ice, add rum, lemon juice, and simple syrup, then shake until chilled.
  6. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe and serve garnished with blueberries and a lemon peel.
