Blueberry Gin
Makes 1 liter of infused gin
Ingredients
- 2½ lbs fresh blueberries, divided
- 1 liter dry gin
Special Equipment
- container for infusing
- fine mesh strainer
- 1 liter-sized glass bottle
How-to
- Freeze fresh blueberries thoroughly for 2-3 hours
- Divide the amount of blueberries in half, placing one part into a container for the infusion, leaving the remaining blueberries in the freezer
- Add gin, making sure that the fruit is completely submerged. Cover and store at room temperature for 3 weeks; there is no need to refrigerate
- After 3 weeks, strain through a fine mesh strainer and pour (the partially-infused gin) over the second half of frozen blueberries
- Let the mixture sit for about 3 more weeks. You'll know your infusion is ready when the gin tastes like juicy blueberries. Strain again through a fine mesh strainer and bottle
- Store at room temperature and enjoy with Kevin Martin's Blueberry Thrill cocktail!
