By cwyorkiex3

This recipe takes 90 days - so you may want to make a double batch...

Ingredients

• SIMPLE SYRUP:
• 1 (12oz) pkg frozen blueberries
• 1/2 lemon, zested
• 3 whole cloves
• 1-1/2 cups Grey Goose vodka
• 3/4 cup simple syrup
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups white sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Thaw the blueberries and mash with a fork in a bowl, and then add to a quart canning jar. Add the lemon zest, cloves and vodka. Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dry place for 90 days - shaking the jar gently every week or so.

After 3 months, strain the blueberries and filter through a cheesecloth. Pour into a quart jar. Pour in the simple syrup and tightly seal - shake the bottle gently until well combined. Store in a cool, dry place for 30 days more.

When ready to bottle, strain again through a cheesecloth and pour into the decorative bottle. Serve with 7-Up or club soda in a two to one ratio. Enjoy, it's well worth the wait.

SIMPLE SYRUP:
Combine in a small sauce and bring to a boil. Simmer until all sugar is dissolved. Cool, and store in a airtight container.
