In case you didn’t know, this drink is known as vodka lemonade and it is one of the most popular summer cocktails and we can definitely see why. It’s both sweet and refreshing, which is something that we all need when it’s time to lower our body temperature.
Even though we assume that you already know how it’s supposed to be made since it has only two ingredients, it still doesn’t hurt to remind you. So you need to slice a couple of strawberries, but make sure you have a good fruit and veg wholesaler in general if you want your ingredients to be delicious and healthy. Once you got your slices, it’s time to add some vodka.
And voila! You got a fast, yet super-delicious and refreshing cocktail that’s going to sweep you off your feet!
Unconventional Gin And Tonic
Even the ones who are not too fond of cocktails and alcohol in general have heard of gin and tonic, but today we’re going to show you a drink that has a little twist to it. And it’s all thanks to the blueberry syrup which is going to definitely spice things up.
To some people, gin and tonic are a bit bitter, however, this combination is definitely different from the original one and far less bitter. As stated above, it’s all because of blueberry which makes this drink very sweet, juicy, and fruity that even the ones who despise gin and tonic will be blown away by this one.
Below we are going to give you the instructions that will help you prepare this cocktail in a jiffy. It is ideal for hot, summer parties, or any other form of gathering. Just to let you know the amount of syrup you’ll have in this recipe is more than enough, meaning that you can use it later for pancakes, cakes, ice cream, or any other dessert. So let’s see how it goes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp of water
- 2 tbsp of granulated sugar
- 3 oz of gin
- 12 oz of tonic water
If you want to, you can add some lime wedges, however, that’s optional, not mandatory. In a small pot over medium heat, you should add some blueberries, along with granulated sugar and water to a simmer.
Decrease the heat to medium-low and stir as frequently as you can until the blueberries have burst, which is approximately five minutes. Place this mixture in a bowl and leave it in the fridge for a while.
The next step is to split 4 tbsp. of blueberry syrup between two glasses that are filled with ice (if you want it to be cold and refreshing to the maximum). Once you’re done with add, don’t forget to add tonic water and gin.
The amount of blueberry syrup, tonic water, and syrup highly depends on your preferences and taste. As a final touch, be sure to put a lime wedge too!
