Notes
- For blueberry syrup, see blueberry lemonade recipe and follow first step to make the syrup. You can make this ahead, and as a bigger batch if you prefer. Refrigerate until needed - it should keep a week or two.
- You can also make this for a crowd - a bottle of champagne will make around 12 glasses, so you would need 6oz/180ml blueberry simple syrup, 6oz/180ml lemon juice and 12oz/360ml gin for the base, then stir well with ice, strain into 12 glasses then top each up with champagne.
