Blueberry Gin Daisy

With the big celebration coming up, I thought I would share a couple of refreshing beverages for your gathering.

1 pint fresh blueberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

2 cups gin

1 cup fresh lemon juice

4 cups chilled club soda

Garnish: lemon slices, fresh blueberries

In a small saucepan, bring blueberries, sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain mixture into a large pitcher, let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.

Stir in gin and lemon juice. Just before serving, stir in club soda and desired amount of ice. Garnish with lemon slices and blueberries, if desired.
