Blueberry Citrus Gin Fizz

Preparation

1. Place blueberries, sugar and 1/3 cup of water in a small sauce pot over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until blueberries are broken down. Using an immersion blender, blend blueberry mixture until smooth. Pass blueberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer and chill.

2. To a cocktail shaker add 3 oz of the blueberry mixture, the gin, lemon juice and egg white. Shake dry (no ice) for 30 seconds. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake again until chilled. Serve in a high ball glass over ice, top with sparkling water, fresh blueberries and a lemon twist.

Notes

To make a mocktail version of this drink, simply omit the gin or add 2 oz of your favourite zero proof spirit!
