Blueberry Cabernet Julep

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon

INGREDIENTS

1 Bottle of Lakeridge Cabernet Sauvignon
3 Mint Leaves
1 Lemon
1 cup Blueberries
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup sugar

PREPARATION STEPS

1. Make a Blueberry Lemon Compote. Combine Blueberries, Water, Sugar, and juice from 1/2 a Lemon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Blueberries will open and then use the bottom of your spoon to crush the blueberries, all this will create a syrup. Let cool.

2. Muddle together 3 Mint leaves and zest of half a Lemon in a Goblet or tall Glass (use a zester or peeler).

3. Add 4 oz of Cabernet and 1 oz of the Blueberry Lemon Compote (over ice if you prefer).

4. Garnish with Blueberries and Lemon rind for a beautiful Blueberry Cabernet Julep!
