Ingredients

Scale

For the blueberry lavender syrup:

1 pint blueberries
1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup sugar + stevia equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar)
A couple sprigs of fresh or dried lavender
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For each cocktail:

1/3 cup white wine
1 shot spiced rum
1 – 2 shots blueberry lavender syrup
Club soda
For garnish: fresh blueberries, mint or lavender and/or edible flowers

Instructions

Put the blueberry lavender syrup ingredients into a small saucepan and stir well. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let cool, then strain out the berries and lavender. Put the syrup in a jar and chill. Blend up the berries for another use.
To make a cocktail: Fill a tall glass about 2/3 of the way with ice. Pour in the wine, rum, and syrup, then top with club soda. Taste and add more syrup if you want it sweeter. Garnish with fresh mint, blueberries and edible flowers or a sprig of lavender if desired.

Notes

Total time does not include cooling time for the syrup.
