Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Blueberries fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • pinch Salt
  • 6 small Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Fine-mesh sieve
  • Shot glasses

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and softened, and the sugar has dissolved, creating a lightly syrupy liquid.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
  4. Carefully transfer the hot blueberry mixture to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing the solids with a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp. This step ensures a silky, smooth consistency ideal for a shot.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the blueberry lemon mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. The "soup" should be very cold for optimal flavor and refreshment.
  7. Just before serving, give the chilled shot soup a quick stir. Pour approximately 2 ounces into each shot glass. Garnish each shot with a small fresh mint leaf. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an even finer, super-smooth texture, you can pass the strained mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. The sweetness can be adjusted based on the ripeness of your blueberries and personal preference. This shot can also be served as a light dessert.
