A gin and tonic is a classic and straightforward cocktail. The addition of a blueberry syrup turns it into a perfect summer drink, making it fruity, a little sweeter, and a beautiful shade of purple. It’s a fun party drink to serve at your summer gatherings with very little effort. The syrup will make more than you need for one drink, but you can save it for future cocktails or serve it over pancakes or ice cream!
