I usually hate gin. I used to live in the backwoods of Georgia and anything that reminds me of picking up pine cones and raking pine needles is not for me. Josh on the other hand, loves gin. He's able to drink it straight but recently, he thought it would be cool to add it to the blueberry-pomegranate juice I usually add to tea. It's fantastic. It takes away just enough of the piney flavor but keeps the cool essence of the juniper berries. Since I had just frozen some fresh-picked blueberries, I added those to the glass instead of ice.
As you can see, there's not much to this recipe.
Add a handful of frozen blueberries to your glass. If you don't have frozen ones, add fresh ones to a few ice cubes. We keep our liquor in the freezer anyway so it's already ice cold.
Add two shots of gin; one if you're a sissy.
Then fill the glass with the blueberry-pomegranate juice. For my glass, that meant about 8oz of juice.
Careful. These go down easy and sneak up on you later. It's ok, though. Just tell yourself that you're getting your antioxidants and fruit for the day and pour another. Cheers.
