Notes
- Substitutions & Variations:
- For a mapley twist, replace a half-ounce of Blueberry Simple Syrup with half-ounce maple syrup. Make sure to use the real stuff! This is especially tasty in fall when you want comforting flavors, or in spring during maple syrup season!
- Lime fan? Replace lemon wedges with lime instead.
- It’s best to fill the cocktail shaker with whole ice cubes for shaking, but you can serve this drink over crushed ice if you prefer.
- Muddle means smashing it up to release flavor. Often, berries, fruit, and/or fresh herbs are muddled to make craft cocktails. In this recipe, you muddle lemon and mint together. You can buy a muddler to add to your barware set, use a mortar and pestle, or simply use the handle of a wooden spoon!
