Blueberry Mint Frozen Gimlet

By Pam Greer 1 Comment

Blueberry Mint Frozen Gimlet

It’s summer and that means it’s time for summer cocktails.  While I love a nice simple gin & tonic, there is something about sitting out on the back porch in the lazy days of summer that makes me want to get a little more creative in my drinks.  I mean it’s summer – there is ripe fruit and fresh herbs readily available!  Take this Blueberry Mint Frozen Gimlet for example.  The blueberries came from bushes in my backyard and the mint came from a mint patch at the side of the house.  (Mint has it’s own bed far, far away from all the other beds, since it runs rampant if given half a chance.)

With all the ingredients readily at hand, it was a snap to whip this up.  The recipe calls for using a Magic Bullet. I didn’t have one and just used my regular blender.  With my regular blender, I didn’t really end up with a frozen drink (perhaps I needed to add more ice, or puree less), but it was still quite tasty and refreshing.  Perfect for a sumer afternoon.

Blueberry Mint Frozen Gimlet (online Here)

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 6 mint leaves
  • 1 1/2 ounces dry London-style gin
  • 3/4 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • ice to fill cup

Load ingredients into the 8 ounce cup in the order listed (it’s important to fill the cup up).  Blend.  Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

Serves 1
