B is for Blueberry Berry Nice

Continuing the series of my A to Z walk-through of cocktails, this is a creation of my own.

Not many pictures for this I’m afraid as I knocked it together myself with some blueberries we had left over from a mixed fruit pack from Sainsbury’s that was nearing its use by date.

Neither myself or the mrs are particularly keen on blueberries but this one turned out okay.

Ingredients

  • 15-20 fresh Blueberries
  • 2 shots of Tanqueray Gin
  • 1 shot of Creme de Framboise
  • 1 shot of Chambord
  • 2 shots of Apple Juice

Method

Muddle the Blueberries in the base of the cocktail shaker.  Add the rest of the ingredients with ice and shake.  Strain in to martini glasses.

Verdict

Was really quite nicely balanced for both both of us.  Nice and fruity but not too sweet.  Next time I will probably fine strain through a proper sieve as the little blueberry seeds settled at the bottom of the glass.  Would try again. If I had blueberries to use up.
