Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojitos #healthydrink #easyrecipe #cocktail #smoothie

I trust you folks aren't becoming ill of collective substance, since the present post is a joint effort with a decent blogging pal of mine, Dana over at Killing Thyme. Dana's blog may sound recognizable in light of the fact that I've referenced it a couple of times here at JustineCelina! Dana and I met a year ago through The Food Bloggers of Canada and you could state we turned out to be quick blogging companions — we clicked immediately.

I love Dana's get-up-and-go that is uncontrollably evident in her substance, her voice and credibility, her liberality, and obviously, her awesome plans and culinary learning! Dana has been at the subject of blogging significantly longer than I have and she's constantly been so strong of what I'm doing. To put it plainly, she's an outright jewel and I'm certain you'll cherish her substance and her blog the same amount of as I do! Fly over to look at my visitor post and get the formula for my Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojitos.

In this way, when she approached on the off chance that I'd be up for a visitor post on her site, I seized the chance! We both love an extraordinary mixed drink, so I knew my Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojitos would be an ideal fit! They consolidate sweet blueberries with invigorating lemon, cucumber and mint with a sound portion of gin and a sprinkle of pop water for the perfect measure of shimmer. These pre-fall sipper are free of refined sugars and made with every single regular fixing — so whenever you're wanting a cooling summer mixed drink, entertain yourself with a new bend on the exemplary mojito! Cheers to sharing the adoration, to new online journals and new companions!

Ingredients

• BLUEBERRY LEMON AND CUCUMBER GIN MOJITOS
• 1.5 oz Blueberry Honey Syrup recipe to follow
• 2 oz of gin
• Juice from half a lemon
• 5 leaves fresh mint
• 5 slices of cucumber
• Soda water
• OPTIONAL GARNISH
• Sliced cucumbers
• Sliced lemon
• Blueberries
• Sprig of mint
• Edible flowers I used pansies
• BLUEBERRY HONEY SYRUP
• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup honey
• Juice from half a lemon

Instructions

1. If you’re making floral ice cubes, begin by sourcing your flowers, washing them and dropping them into the ice cube trays to freeze. You really can’t mess this up — so experiment with different flower place- ments within each cube and have fun with it!
2. Start on your Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup. Add blueberries and water to a medium sauce pan over low heat. The blueberries will begin to break down quickly — help them along by pressing them with a potato masher to aid in extracting the juices. Simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Strain the blueberry juice into a heatproof bowl, using the potato masher press the juice through the strainer. Reserve the juice for the Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup and discard the skins.
4. Add the blueberry juice and honey back to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to thicken for 10 minutes.
5. Turn off the burner. Add the juice from half a lemon to your saucepan, stirring until incorporated. Allow your Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup to cool before using it in the Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojitos.
6. Begin assembling your cocktail by adding lemon juice, mint and cucumber to a cocktail shaker and muddling them together with a pestle. Add Blueberry Honey Simple Syrup and a few ice cubes. Shake vigorously until the cocktail shaker becomes cold.
7. Add the contents of the cocktail shaker to your glass along with your gin. Pour soda water overtop to fill your glass to the desired level.
8. Garnish your Blueberry Lemon and Cucumber Gin Mojito with a slice of lemon and a few blueberries on a cocktail skewer.
9. Add a sprig of mint, or a few more edible flowers and enjoy!
