Desiccated blueberries in the fridge? Check. Too many Meyer Lemons? Check. TGIF!! Cocktail coming right up! Instead of throwing away the berries, I revived them in a pan with a bit of water & sugar. Once it gets a bit jammy, remove from heat and stir in some Meyer Lemon zests. Juice Lemons and assemble this yummy cocktail. For those participating in a dry January, sub out alcohol for sparkling water for a refreshing spritz.
