Tipsy Blue

Ingredients

• Vodka - 1 L
• Blueberry - 1kg
• Lemon - 1 (juice)
• Sugar - 100g
• Cane sugar - 50g
• Brown sugar (dark muscovado) - 50g
• Honey – 50g
• Cinnamon – ½ stick
• Vanilla - ½ stick
• Nutmeg – ½ Seed
• Allspice - 1 Mini Spoon

Preparation

1. Wash the blueberries.
2. Crush or squeeze them gently through a clean cloth or sieve to release as much juice as possible. Place juice and skins together in a large glass jar.
3. Add lemon juice, cinnamon stick, vanilla, nutmeg, and allspice.
4. Pour in the vodka, stir, and seal the jar tightly.
5. Store in a dark, cool place for 2 weeks, shaking gently every 2–3 days.
6. After 2 weeks, prepare a syrup: dissolve white sugar, cane sugar, muscovado sugar, and honey in a little warm water. Let cool completely.
7. Add the syrup to the jar, mix well, and leave for another 2 weeks to allow flavors to blend.
8. Strain the liqueur through a clean cloth or fine sieve, squeezing the blueberry pulp gently to extract the last drops of juice.
9. Bottle the liquid and let it mature for at least 1 month before serving.
