Found this on a political site, she was going to celebrate the health care vote with it and had to have the recipe! It takes about a week to dissolve the berries but can be used after two or 3 days. Prep time includes this

Time P7DT30m

Yield 1 bottle gin, 1 drink, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) box blueberries, fresh
750 ml gin, whichever one you prefer
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 cup water
3 teaspoons sugar
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Throw the blueberries and gin in a mason jar, and let this sit for about a week (it actually only takes two to three days for the blueberries to dissolve, so it just depends on how blue you want it).
  • Boil the vanilla bean and sugar in a cup of water for about 1/2 hour or so, and stick in the fridge to cool (or not, it can be hot if it your pouring it on ice).
  • Squeeze 1/2 a lemon in a glass of ice, pour in vanilla syrup to taste, pour in gin. Shake (I like to shake mine in a martini shaker), garnish with a couple blueberries, and drink!
