The weather has been crazy hot lately so of course I had to make another Blueberry Lemon Gin and Tonic. The recipe is in my previous post here.
This has been one of my favourite drinks lately. Super refreshing and the homemade syrup is incredible. This could serve as a very versatile recipe for different syrups. I have plans for a bunch more fruit syrups that I would like to try to make.
Because of the size of the ice cube I couldn’t actually get the the right ratio of the drink into the glass. Plus I was headed outside into 34° C heat, so I immediately dumped the drink into my Yeti cup and and doubled the recipe. I used the last of my blueberry syrup so there’s a little bit of sediment. That made it less clear than I would prefer, but that’s not overly important.
Although my drink stayed ice cold it wasn’t quite enough so I also set my hose to the mist setting and propped it up in front of my chair. Worked quite well I must say.
I’m not advertising for Yeti but i do love their stuff. I have two coolers and they’re amazing. I picked this cup up for a trip to an all inclusive resort in Cuba. You can’t be wasting time walking back and forth from the beach to the bar.
So if you’re headed out into the heat we have been having here, make up a Blueberry Lemon Gin and Tonic, throw it in a Yeti and head outside.
