A berry delicious gin cocktail.
Philip Stefanescu hails from Sweden and wanted to create a drink that reminded him of those Swedish midsummers. The blueberry jam here works wonderfully when combined with Hendrick’s Gin, mixed with mint and topped with the hoppy bitterness of the local beer. Do this and you’ve got one cool summer serve on your hands.
