Blue Ruby Cocktail - Old Bay - 03-06-2009 I love the sound of this, but I don't like sweet cocktails--would somebody try this and give me a review? From Specs Spring magazine 09. 1/2 C fresh blueberries, 10 leaves fresh basil, 1/2 C Tanqueray gin,1 & 1/2 C white grape juice. Garnish: fresh blueberries. Put all ingredients in a blender and pulse 6 times. Pour over ice and garnish with a couple of blueberries. I really think this has possibilities. Makes 1 cocktail. I may adjust the recipe depending on your report. I like dry. Thanks P.S. I may cut the grape juice to 1/2 C---what do you think?? Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - Gourmet_Mom - 03-06-2009 Wow Bill....this sounds pretty interesting! I'll have to give it a try. Now to find some blueberries. We ate all of last years horde. Either I'll have to wait for a new crop or find some at the grocery store frozen. I'd rather do fresh, though. One of my widow church ladies has a bunch of bushes and sells them every year pretty cheap....won't be long. OT-I have noticed the strawberry patch that I pass every day is springing. I can't wait! Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - luvnit - 03-06-2009 If I had bluberries, I would try it right now. But alas, I do not. I will try to obtain some this weekend! Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - DFen911 - 03-06-2009 It will be sweet based on the blueberries and grape juice. 1.5 cups is a lot of grape juice. That's 12 ounces of juice to 4 ounces of gin. 3 to 1 in the opposite direction for me. For me I'd do 2 parts gin, 1 part grape juice to 1/2 part blueberry juice and a small sqeeze of lemon. Shake strain and pour. Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - Old Bay - 03-07-2009 Quote: A girl after me own heart--I'm off in the am for blueberries and grape juice!!!!

I THINK I can put one together after a few...LOL! But I'm thinking we need to eat early, too! I fell asleep after one lemonade last night, so I'm going to remedy that today...LOL! Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - cjs - 03-07-2009 Pizza - that's it! sounds good. Re: Blue Ruby Cocktail - Mare749 - 03-07-2009 I know this will change the flavor a bit, but you can buy "unsweetened" cranberry juice at Trader Joe's. That would really cut the sugar.
