Instructions

Brewing the blueberries

Wash the blueberries.
10 oz blueberries
Place them into a 2-liter canning jar
Cover with the alcohol and mix well.
1 ¼ cup 95% alcohol or vodka
Store in a cool, dark place for 10 days, shaking every other day.

Adding the sugar syrup

After 10 days, prepare the syrup by dissolving sugar in water on the stove
1 ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water
Allow the syrup to cool.
In a large-neck 1-gallon glass bottle, combine the syrup and the blueberry-alcohol mixture.
Let it sit for an additional 20 days, shaking occasionally.
Transfer the liqueur into decorative bottles and store them in a cool place.

Notes

you can blend some of the berries, but I like to use them whole as I leave them in the liqueur bottle. Seeing these berries in the bottle adds a touch of natural elegance and allure to the drink
Serve blueberry liqueur chilled for an optimal tasting experience.
Keep it in a dark bottle in your refrigerator before serving.
