I entered into a contest. I want to win. But mostly, I want to share this cocktail with you because it's AMAZING. The non-adventurous eater is probably thinking I'm out of my mind with this one. TRUST ME, herbs + berries = magic. I served the leftovers at my cook book club (sin alcohol) and it was a huge hit. Then I sent the recipe to a friend and he too said it was delish! I'm telling you guys, make this, now!
Also, vote for me! Shameless plug, but mamma needs some $$! You'll note the cocktail recipe on the site is different from here. That was a spirit contest so I plussed up the gin amount for them. I prefer a subtle nod of gin with lots of sparkly goodness (aka, the recipe below). Cheers!
blueberry basil fizz
yields about 1 cup blueberry basil syrup
to make blueberry syrup:
1 ½ c. fresh blueberries (frozen works too)
1 c. water
2 TBSP sugar
1 bunch of basil leaves with stems (about 25 leaves)
In a small sauce pan, combine blueberries, water, sugar and bring to a soft boil. Let cook until blueberries burst. Turn off the heat and add basil leaves + stems, let steep in the blueberry mixture for 10 - 15 minutes. Pull the basil leaves out and pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, Pressing all of the blueberry goodness through the strainer. Chill until ready to serve.
for the cocktail:
yields 1 cocktail
ingredients:
½ oz gin
1 oz blueberry basil mixture
½ c. crushed ice
top with prosecco (about ½ c.)
garnish: fresh blueberries and torn basil leaves.
Combine gin, blueberry basil mixture and ice, shake or stir. Pour into a glass and top with prosecco. Garnish with torn basil leaves and fresh blueberries. I like to serve it in a stemless champagne flute but a rocks glass looks pretty too.
improv style:
first thing, this is a cocktail, you don't REALLY have to measure. just dump, dump, mix and sip! this is just my guide to the cocktail, choose your own adventure!
this can be made with just gin, berry mixture and sparkling water, likewise with just prosecco + blueberry basil syrup. if you want a refreshing summer drink sin alcohol, just mix about 2 TBSP of the mixture with ½ c. sparkling water. sparkling coconut water or even coconut milk would be delish too.
not a blueberry or basil fan? try blackberry rosemary, raspberry thyme, lavender blueberry - you see where i'm going here.
good herbs for this: mint, rosemary, thyme, lavender, basil, or rosewater (technically not an herb, but it's in the plant family).
good fruits: any berry, citrus fruit, stone fruit.
fun mix in's: flavored sparkling water, gin, vodka, sparkling wine, white wine (fancy wine cooler anyone?!), coconut water, iced tea?!
basically i'm saying everyone could use a little fruit + herb action in their life. Especially in beverage form.

ReplyDeleteAssignments and assessments are part of academics for analysis of the potential and efficiency of students. But they put a lot of pressure on the minds of students and therefore sometimes they fail to give appropriate time to their studies and get low grades. This is the reason students seek assignment help Melbourne. Many different subjects where students mostly seek online assignment help are BSBSUS201 assessment answers Help, Management Assignment Help, bsbdiv501 assessment answers, etc.
