Blue Bayou Cocktail

PH factor: 9.0

Recipe

Ingredients:

Cocktail

o 6-8 large fresh blueberries or

2 bar spoons blueberry preserves

o 2 mint leaves

o 1 ½ ounces Woodford Reserve bourbon

o ¾ ounce Hennessey VS cognac

o 1 tablespoon Honey Syrup

(see: Syrups etc.)

o 1 dash almond extract

o 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Garnish

o mint sprig

Method:

1. Muddle berries or preserves

with 2 mint leaves in a cocktail

shaker.

2. Add ice and remaining

cocktail ingredients and shake

to chill.

3. Double strain into an

ice-filled Old Fashioned glass.

4. Garnish with mint sprig.

Remarks:

The wild berry version did score

higher while the preserves were

sweeter. There is no compelling

reason to not make this cocktail

using either. So, if you don't have

fresh berries, “Don’t stay thirsty,

my friend”.
