About Blueberry Bourbon Cocktail
And since I am a huge fan of alliteration, I decided to add another "b" ingredient in the mix for a Blueberry Basil Bourbon Cocktail because that's just fun to say.
Especially after two of these cocktails 😉
Making these bourbon cocktails is similar to making Mint Juleps, just not as specific.
Basically, you will just mash together blueberries, basil, and sugar until the blueberries are mashed, the basil is fragrant and the sugar dissolves.
Then add in some bourbon and ice, top with a little club soda or sparkling water, and enjoy!

Notes
*I like to pour the club soda into the cup I used to smash the blueberries to get any remaining sugar/blueberry mixture that didn't pour into the glasses.
