Cocktail
Garnish
Blueberry Simple Syrup (make ahead, optional)
Method
Blueberry Simple Syrup (optional, makes ~1 cup)
Combine and simmer
In a small saucepan combine 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Smash berries with a spoon to release juice and color.
Reduce and strain
Simmer gently 8–10 minutes until syrup is slightly thickened and has a deep purple color. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar, pressing solids to extract liquid. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Assemble Cocktail
Prepare glass
Fill a chilled copper mug or highball glass with cubed ice until nearly full (about 1 cup).
Build the mule
Pour 2 oz Western Son Blueberry Vodka and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice into the glass. If you prefer a more pronounced blueberry sweetness, add 1/2 oz blueberry simple syrup. Gently stir once to combine.
Top with ginger beer
Carefully top the mixture with 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Stir gently once or twice to integrate without flattening the fizz.
Garnish and finish
Thread 6–8 fresh blueberries onto a cocktail pick (or scatter them on top), add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim, and tuck a mint sprig into the ice if using. Serve with a straw and a small spoon for muddled berries if desired.
Serving suggestion
Serve immediately while ginger beer is fizzy. Adjust lime or syrup to taste for more tartness or sweetness.
