Blueberry Simple Syrup Recipe - Tips & Tricks | Club Foody

 

Unless you’re strictly a beer or wine drinker 🍷, a proper bar needs the basics: Vodka, Gin (I can’t stand it 🤢… it’s for guests), Rum, Whisky, Brandy and Tequila. If you want to extend it a little more, there’s dry or sweet Vermouth, Grand Marnier and Cognac.
 
Moreover, sodas, clamato/tomato, grapefruit, cranberry, and orange juice 🍊 are also good to have around. Other essentials are celery salt, grenadine, bitters, Worcestershire sauce as well as hot sauce, plus garnishes like cocktail onions, olives, lemons, limes, etc.
 
Simple Syrup is probably the most used. It’s very versatile and a great sweetener that balances flavors, taking away some of the bitterness from the alcohol. It’s an ingredient for Mojitos, Mai Tai 🍹, Mint Julep, Old Fashioned, Lemon Drop Limoncello Martini, and more.
 
As the title refers, it’s easy to make this syrup. A couple decades ago, I decided to take it a step further by creating Cranberry Simple Syrup as well as a Cherry one 🍒. Another one added to this list is my Blueberry Simple Syrup!
 
Within 20 minutes ⏳, you’ve got yourself a nice condiment. It can be used to enhance cocktails such as Blueberry Daiquiri, Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini, and others, including Blueberry Ice Cream Float. You can also enhance a nice savory Blueberry Sauce by adding some to it.
 
To make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Blueberry Simple Syrup, the ingredients are combined in a saucepan and simmered for a short time, breaking up the berries with the tip of a wooden spoon. From here, the mixture is transferred to a fine sieve, drained into a bowl and then the solids are discarded… we don’t need the pulp.
 
After the mixture is nicely drained, it’s stored in an airtight container and transferred to the refrigerator until ready to use. It keeps very well for months. I never test exactly how long it can be stored because within a couple months 📆, I normally use it all up!
 
Blueberry Simple Syrup is a great condiment to have on hand. Besides being another bar essential, it can be used in recipes for cakes 🍰, popsicles, as a base for salad dressings, marinades, sauces, or glazes for meat. While fresh blueberries are around, take advantage of it by making this versatile recipe…
