Blueberry Gin Sour

August 4, 2017~ Cocktails, recipe, Summer

Jump to Recipe

It’s Friday! What’s good y’all? I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes here this week, and I can’t wait wait to show you guys over the coming months what I’m working on. In the meantime, I thought it was about time I kick back and relax with a drink because dayuuum I earned it. On the menu this week – as a nod to my friend Rosa – we’ve got another gin cocktail on the menu! I present to you the Blueberry Gin Sour.

I did not create this recipe, rather I tried-out this one from Supergolden Bakes // here //. All credit goes to them for the creation of this gem.

I’ve been a fan of gin for a while now. When I was in my early twenties I could not stand the taste of tonic, so that took a lot of gin-based drinks out of the equation for me, but one fine summer night the tonic smelled and tasted just right and it’s been pure love ever since. I’m as much a tonic snob as I am when it comes to the gin part of the drink.

While this cocktail involves zero tonic water, it does call for a quality gin. As always, I’m using Bombay Saphire. So without further ado, the Blueberry Gin Sour.

Ingredients

  • Handful of fresh (or frozen and defrosted) blueberries
  • 2 tbsp simple syrup
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 60ml | 2oz)
  • 2 tbsp pasteurised egg white (such as Two Chicks)
  • 4oz gin
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
  • lemon peel to serve

Step 1: Put the blueberries, lemon juice, simple syrup in a glass or measuring jug and muddle with the back end of a rolling pin (or a muddler). I just put everything in our mortar and pestle and went to town.

Step 2: Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer over a cocktail shaker. Make sure you press at the mixture sitting in the sieve to get as much flavour and extra juice as you can.

Step 3: Add the gin to the shaker, the bitters and the egg whites.

Step 4: Shake vigorously! You want to aerate the egg whites and froth them up a bit, so there’s an emphasis on the “vigorous.”

Step 5: Strain the cocktail into two lowball glasses filled with ice. Add a lemon peel for garnish.

You can see here that I started with a highball, but I quickly switched once I saw how pitiful the drink looked in such a big glass.

You have to admit, the blueberry gin sour looks mighty good in my living room. I’ve started turning my attention to this space again as we start to prep for fall and a return to indoor entertaining. We’re still a few months away from that (at least I hope) but I’ve gotta be ready or it will sneak-up on me!

If you saw my stories yesterday you’ll know that Bruce thought he was part of the photoshoot, so each time I called his name he stood in front of the camera facing another direction. Who knows what’s going on with that guy. I betcha he wanted a blueberry gin sour!

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.

I know you all love colour as much as I do, so whe I know you all love colour as much as I do, so when I asked @itscarlabethany if I could share a few frames of her home with you guys, I knew it would be a perfect fit. We’ve both got a few of the same pieces, and we both love bold textiles and wallpaper. She’s got her own spin on them, and the cutest sidekick in town - Maybeline (swipe to see). Do yourself a favour and go give her a follow!
