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!

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
