Ingredients
Scale
For the Blueberry simple syrup:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar (for a “skinny” cocktail, use an equivalent amount of Stevia or a mix of Stevia and sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cocktail:
- 3 – 6 oz. pineapple juice or pineapple orange juice
- 1 oz. blueberry pineapple infused tequila (recipe here)
- 1/2 oz. blueberry simple syrup
Instructions
- Three days before, start the blueberry pineapple tequila. It will take three days for the blueberries and pineapple flavor to infuse into the tequila.
- To prep the blueberry simple syrup, put the blueberries, water, sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently or until the blueberries have all popped and the juices are distinctly purple. Strain out the berries by pouring the mixture through a cheesecloth or through a very fine-mesh sieve, mushing the berries to release all their juices.Store the syrup in a sealed bottle in the fridge.
- To make the cocktail: fill a glass most of the way with ice. Pour the juice into the glass, filling it 2/3 – 3/4 of the way.
- Pour the tequila and syrup into a small vessel that pours well. Pour the purple liquid over the juice.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with blueberries, pineapple wedges, and/or edible flowers.
