Instructions

First, prepare the blueberry puree: In a blender or a food processor, blend 1 cup of fresh blueberries until completely pulverized. Pour the blueberry puree into a mason jar for storage, and chill until time to make the drinks.

To make the Julep: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves into the caster sugar. Pour in the hot water, swirling the mint leaves and sugar in it until the sugar has dissolved. Measure in the blueberry puree, lemon juice and bourbon. Add the ice, shaking the cocktail in the shaker until everything is chilled and combined. Serve in a favorite glass over ice, and enjoy immediately with a garnish of mint leaves and fresh blueberries.

***Tip: The secret to a great Julep is the ice. Use your blender to create fluffy, fine chunks of ice.***
