Blueberry Lavender Smash

Description

Blueberry Lavender Smash is fruit-forward without becoming jammy. Gin and lemon give the drink structure, blueberry syrup brings dark berry depth and mint keeps the middle fresh.

Lavender is capped at 5 ml because floral flavours become medicinal quickly. Used this way, it behaves more like aroma than sweetness.

Ingredients

45 ml Gin
20 ml lemon juice
15 ml Blueberry syrup
5 ml Lavender syrup
6 mint leafs
1 mint sprig (for garnish)
Ice

Equipment needed

Muddler – Use gentle pressure on fruit or herbs. Cocktail Shaker – Shake to chill and integrate the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Fine-strain for a polished texture.

Instructions

Add mint leaves, blueberry syrup and lemon juice to a shaker and press the mint gently once or twice.
Add gin and lavender syrup, then fill with ice.
Shake for 10 to 12 seconds.
Double strain over crushed ice in a rocks glass.
Garnish with a mint sprig and fresh blueberries if available.
