Ingredients
  

Blueberry Shrub

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Cocktail

  • ice cubes
  • 1 ½ fluid ounces bourbon
  • 3 fluid ounces ginger beer
  • blueberries
  • lime wedge

Instructions
 

  • Puree the blueberries, sugar, and red wine vinegar in a blender, then add the peppercorns. Congratulations, you have a shrub! Put it in the fridge with a cover on and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days.
  • Strain the shrub out. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then combine 2 fluid ounces of the shrub with the bourbon in there. Shake it up until it's nice and cold.
  • Strain the shaker contents into an ice-filled pint glass and top it off with ginger beer. Garnish with some extra blueberries or a lime wedge.
