Hey Guys and Gals! A bourbon infused with crushed blueberries, optionally finished with a sugar syrup.
Ingredients
Step 1
3 cups of blueberries
3 cups of bourbon
Step 2 (optional)
2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup boiling water
Directions
1. Clean and crush the blueberries and place them in a jar. Pour in the bourbon so all the blueberries are submerged, then cover and shake.
2. Seal and steep in a cool, dry place for 3 days.
3. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, gently wringing it to extract the remaining liquid. Strain once more through a coffee strainer if it is not clear enough.
4. For the optional syrup, boil the water in a saucepan, stir in the sugar until dissolved, and let it cool completely. Add it to the bourbon to taste.
5. Rest in a dark place for another 15 days, then filter again and bottle.
