I've never been a big alcohol drinker. I like to say it makes me the perfect date and perfect party companion, because I don't like expensive drinks and you can always count on me as the designated driver. It's not that I think alcohol is the devil's work or anything, I'm just not overly fond of the taste of alcohol. I find beer too sour, wine too strong and spirits too bitter, but I occasionally enjoy white wine or dessert wine, and I'll happily down sangria and most fruity cocktail drinks. This berry cocktail, served at the McDonald's Taste of Summer event I attended last week, was tailor-made for me.
Blue Bayou Cocktail
Ingredients:
2 oz. premium blueberry vodka
4 oz. blueberry and strawberry puree (prepared)
1 oz. honey, lime & thyme simple syrup
2 oz. ginger ale
Ice to fill Collins glass
Sliced strawberry for garnish
Method:
Pour ice into Collins glass and add vodka, puree, simple syrup.
Stir completely, then add splash of ginger ale.
Garnish with strawberry and serve immediately.
Our drink was garnished with a sprig of thyme, which gave it a really interesting (in a good way!) taste. You can also make it a virgin drink by substituting soda water for the blueberry vodka.
