It is Friday night! And it is actually sunny and beautiful out! That means that it is time for a special cocktail. When we were visiting Prince Edward Island two summers ago, we went out to dinner for one of their famous Lobster Suppers. It was then that I was first introduced to Blueberry Beer. I had never had it before but it was such a refreshing summertime drink - complete with fresh blueberries and all. That beer is the inspiration for this Blueberry Beer Cocktail! It is amazing how this totally changes the taste of beer and turns it into a refreshing summertime cocktail. It doesn't even taste like beer. Instead you just taste the crisp and light flavors of bubbly blueberry! You will love it!
Blueberry Beer Cocktail
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup blueberries
1 light beer or lager
1/2 of a lime, quartered
Ice
In a saucepan add the sugar, water and 1/2 cup of the blueberries to make a blueberry simple syrup.
Cook until the blueberries pop open and the sugar fully dissolves.
Strain the blueberry simple syrup through a sieve and into a jar.
Put it in the refrigerator so that it is nice and cool when it is cocktail time! You can store this in the fridge for up to a month.
When you are ready for a cocktail, take a tall glass and squeeze the lime into it.
Fill the glass with ice and add 1 oz. of the blueberry simple syrup.
Slowly pour the beer in until the glass is full and garnish with fresh blueberries.
Enjoy this fresh taste of summer in a glass! Thank you for the inspiration for this beer cocktail Prince Edward Island!
