Sugar House Widow

  • Recipe by: Amy B.

This cocktail by Amy B. combines gin, blueberry juice and Runamok’s Cardamom Infused Maple.  Amy gives a convenient method for extracting the juice below, but we also found that putting some blueberries in a blender and straining makes for a pretty good substitute.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut a lemon in half, and use one half to edge a vintage martini glass.
  2. Rim the martini glass rim in maple sugar, and set aside.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and fill with gin and blueberry juice, and give a couple shakes to mix it up.
  4. Let sit while you squeeze the lemon juice.
  5. Add lemon juice and maple syrup to shaker.
  6. Shake for about 20-30 seconds so the maple syrup mixes well. Pour into the maple sugar rimmed cocktail glass.

 

Blueberry Juice Concentrate

  1. Reserve the juice left over from thawing frozen blueberries. Strain the juice.
