Blueberry Gin
Blueberry Gin <p> <a href="/videos/profiles/about-kevin-martin">Kevin Martin</a> of <a href="http://www.easternstandardboston.com/">Eastern Standard</a> makes a gin infusion he claims &quot;is like gold at the restaurant.&quot; Start with fresh blueberries and freeze them thoroughly. Why freeze fresh berries? Kevin tells us ice crystals form, causing cell walls to burst and impart a deep color and rich flavor into the gin. Soak half of the berries in the gin for 3 weeks, then strain the mixture over a new batch of fresh-frozen berries, allowing it to rest an additional 3 weeks. Six weeks seems like a long time to wait, but this delicious gin will be worth your patience, especially if you make Kevin&#39;s <a href="/videos/beverages/blueberry-thrill">Blueberry Thrill</a> cocktail. Cheers!</p>
