Gin and Jam

I have been knee deep in prerequisites. That is, I have started school and it's been a tad overwhelming. It's been four years since I was a student and I am learning to be in a classroom again. All I know is that it's about time, my dreams of becoming a teacher are about to become a reality. In the meantime, I will try not to leave you dangling without delicious new things to try! I found this recipe and knew instantly that I did not have all the ingredients but that I wanted it right away. So I improvised and think I stumbled upon something just as good. Let's do this thing.

Ingredients (makes one drink):

• 2 oz gin
• 4 oz tonic
• 1 tbsp blueberry jam
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

I have been listening to almost too much Motown lately, I say almost because there's no such thing as too much. Sing it Jackie! Love cooking/shakin' drinks to this. 

Directions:

1. In a martini shake, shake all of your ingredient together.
2. Strain drink of any jam bits that are in there.
3. Pour over ice.
4. Serve!

Happy and Safe Drinking Everyone!
