It's clever — I haven't generally been a gin fan. Actually, I've just come to appreciate the flavor of gin this mid year. In the cooler, I discovered heaps of crisp lemons, alongside a beautiful bundle of mint and a few cucumbers. I quickly thought of a gin based, mojito-style mixed drink. My Blueberry Nectar Syrup includes so much enhance and a beautiful purple tone to these mixed drinks.

Ingredients
BLUEBERRY LEMON AND CUCUMBER GIN MOJITOS
- 1.5 oz Blueberry Honey Syrup recipe to follow
- 2 oz of gin
- Juice from half a lemon
- 5 leaves fresh mint
- 5 slices of cucumber
- Soda water
OPTIONAL GARNISH
- Sliced cucumbers

BLUEBERRY HONEY SYRUP
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- Juice from half a lemon
Instructions
- If you’re making floral ice cubes, begin by sourcing your flowers, washing them and dropping them into the ice cube trays to freeze. You really can’t mess this up — so experiment with different flower place- ments within each cube and have fun with it!
- Start on your Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup. Add blueberries and water to a medium sauce pan over low heat. The blueberries will begin to break down quickly — help them along by pressing them with a potato masher to aid in extracting the juices. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Strain the blueberry juice into a heatproof bowl, using the potato masher press the juice through the strainer. Reserve the juice for the Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup and discard the skins.
- Add the blueberry juice and honey back to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to thicken for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the burner. Add the juice from half a lemon to your saucepan, stirring until incorporated. Allow your Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup to cool before using it in the Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojitos.
- Begin assembling your cocktail by adding lemon juice, mint and cucumber to a cocktail shaker and muddling them together with a pestle. Add Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup and a few ice cubes. Shake vigorously until the cocktail shaker becomes cold.
- Add the contents of the cocktail shaker to your glass along with your gin. Pour soda water overtop to fill your glass to the desired level.
- Garnish your Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojito with a slice of lemon and a few blueberries on a cocktail skewer.
- Add a sprig of mint, or a few more edible flowers and enjoy!
