I found this cocktail to be a bit too strong. I would recommend using less bourbon.

This cocktail is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but I still enjoyed this cocktail. The bourbon and mint really shine through.

This cocktail is the perfect way to use up fresh blueberries. I had a bunch of blueberries that were about to go bad, so I made this cocktail and it was delicious.

This cocktail is so easy to make! I just muddled the blueberries and mint in a glass, added the bourbon and lemon juice, and topped it off with soda water. It was ready in less than 5 minutes.
