Our bartender friends at the Deer Path Inn created a light, refreshing cocktail recipe perfect for Memorial Day gatherings.

Makes one cocktail.

• 15 fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
• 1 ½ ounce of gin
• 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/3 ounce simple syrup or honey syrup
• Champagne or prosecco for topping
• Mint sprigs or cocktail picks for garnish (optional)

Place blueberries in a cocktail shaker and smash with a wooden spoon or muddler. Add gin, lime juice, and syrup to shaker and top with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a glass. Top with Champagne or prosecco to taste.

To garnish, thread blueberries onto a mint sprig (bottom leaves removed) or a cocktail pick. Balance across rim of glass or place in the cocktail.
