Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 inch piece, peeled and grated Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 cups Club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves, plus extra for garnish Mint leaves
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, honey, and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add the fresh blueberries, lime juice, and mint leaves. Muddle the ingredients together using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until the blueberries are well crushed and the mint is fragrant.
Add the ginger syrup (prepared in Step 1) to the muddled blueberry mixture and shake well, or stir to combine.
Fill two serving glasses halfway with ice cubes. Strain the blueberry and ginger mixture evenly into each glass.
Top each glass with chilled club soda and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with extra mint leaves and a few whole blueberries if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the zesty, fruity flavors of Ginger Blues!
