A blueberry French 75

By blum099

Ingredients

• Makes 1 drink
• 12-15 blueberries
• 0.5 oz lemon juice (or juice from half a lemon)
• 1 oz gin
• 3 oz sparkling wine (a brut Champagne is traditional, but I say use whatever is cheap and dry)
• ice

Preparation

Step 1

In a large wide mouth glass (like a pint glass or a shaker), muddle the blueberries just enough to make them juicy without turning them to mush. Add lemon juice, gin and a handful of ice. Stir or shake gently. Add the sparkling wine, and then pour the whole thing into a champagne glass. (A highball glass is more traditional, but I prefer the stemless champagne glasses our realtor gave us when we bought our house (thanks Carol!) — use whatever works for you.)
