The Alcoholic Frolic-er makes the Sultry Seamstress

Your Fireworks in a Glass

I have been on a mission to learn to love the complex craziness of Campari.  In my search, I have been experimenting with a number of recipes, discarding some and adapting others.  For this year's celebration of the birth of our nation, I adopted a previous creation, adding an ingredient here and subtracting another there, to honor the feisty seamstress of our noble flag, Betsy Ross.  And I give you:

The Sultry Seamstress
Ingredients:
5+ Blueberries
2 tsp. Brown Sugar
3/4 oz. Lemon Juice
3 oz. Gin
1/4 oz. Campari

Garnish:
Blueberries
White Sugar 

Directions:
Muddle the blueberries and brown sugar in a mixing glass. Add lemon juice, gin, Campari, and fill with ice. Shake, shake, and shake it all around. Strain and serve in a martini glass with a white sugared rim, blueberries to garnish and voila! It's your grand ol' Red, White And Blue!
