Adult Swim Blueberry Lemonade

This Adult swim blueberry lemonade is a perfect refreshing summer cocktail. It’s tart and a little sweet with just a hint of basil to balance it all out. I predict I’ll be seeing a lot of these in my future! Now I just need a pool to lounge by, and I’ll be all set!

Blueberry Basil Simple Syrup

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 8-10 basil leaves

Directions:

Combine the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Pour mixture through a mesh strainer into a glass container and refrigerate until cold. If you need it right away, (and why wouldn’t you?) you can pop it in the freezer to chill it quickly. Store remaining syrup in the refrigerator for future cocktails. It will last for a week.
