Summertime GINger Recipe

I recently stumbled on Gin and Ginger, and actually thought that I created (and named) it. Imagine my disappointment when at a work event my coworker went up to the bar and ordered my new "signature" drink! While I am still a huge fan of a plain old Gin and Ginger, my new at home drink is my "Summertime GINger" It is super refreshing on a hot day and isn't too sweet but I really want to try doing half and half Ginger Beer and Soda Water in place of the Gingerale, it'll give it a stronger ginger kick and cut some of the gingerale sweetness.

• Shot of Gin (my favorite is Bombay!)
• Spritz of lemon
• Fresh Mint leaves
• Blueverries
• Ginger Ale
• Optional: Peychaud Bitters

Ingredients

Directions

1. Take a glass (I personally prefer a mason jar!) and add ribbons of mint and a hand full of blueberries 
2. Carefully muddle and crush the blueberries and mint
3. Add ice, then a shot of Gin. Full to almost the top with Ginger Ale (or try with ginger beer for an extra tang!)
4. Add spritz of lemon and/or dash of Peychaud Bitters to taste
5. Relax and enjoy!
