- Combine blueberries, lemon zest, and brandy in jar and seal tightly. Let sit in a cool dark place, shaking jar daily, until mixture is a deep purple color, about 1 month.

- To make a spritzer, place 1 oz. cordial in a flute and top off with sparkling wine.
- Do Ahead
- Strained cordial mixture can be made 6 months ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
