I had really debated this syrup right here. It was initially made to create this beautiful layering effect in the Coconut and Blueberry Drizzle Fizz Cocktail, but I already had something similar in the Liquid Culture library. I’m always trying to add something new and different to the content here on LC, but I knew the original Blueberry Jam syrup was going to be too sweet for this combination.
I decided to go with it and just create something new and as it turns out….it’s perfect with everything. It made a killer addition to an iced tea, it spiced up my water life to create a delicious refresher and it was MIGHTY tasty in the Coconut and Blueberry Drizzle Fizz! So as always I didn’t regret adding something absolutely delicious to the syrup library, even if it may have an identical twin on here.
