This week’s whet comes to us from Anu Apte – owner and “bartender wondergirl” at Rob Roy in Belltown (Seattle), WA.  If you’re looking for that ‘take you back to a simpler time’ kind of joint with those ‘simpler time’ kind of drinks ~ they do that, too!  However, if you’re lookin’ for a really funky joint to sit down, relax, take a load off and sample some kick ass cocktails with some really unique um…kicks; go visit Anu and give one of these Blueberry Bark Rickey’s a try – go summer!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz gin, a London dry works best
  • 1/2 oz turmeric syrup
  • 1/4 St. Germain Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice
  • 8 muddled blueberries
  • topped with soda

Muddle blueberries in a shaker, add all liquids, add ice.  Shake and then strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with a blueberry and a lime wedge.
