Instructions

Blueberry simple syrup

Combine the sugar, water, and blueberries in a small pot and heat on low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved and the blueberries are starting to burst, turn off the heat and let the blueberry syrup steep for 30 minutes.
Mash the blueberries and filter the syrup into a small container using a fine mesh strainer.
Cool and store in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.

Blueberry gin and tonic

Fill a highball glass about halfway up with ice. Add the gin, blueberry simple syrup, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker without ice, shake and strain into your highball glass.
Top with more ice and 4 ounces tonic water or more to taste.
Garnish with some fresh blueberries or a lime wheel.

Notes

Don't confuse soda or seltzer with tonic water. You want tonic water for this cocktail.
