Blueberry Jam Gin Spritz

Sustainability AND a tasty beverage? Yes please! This easy, delicious summer cocktail is the perfect way to get every bit of deliciousness out of a nearly empty jar of jam and enjoy a refreshing spritz in a chic, creative glass. This drink combines sweet and tart blueberry jam with an herbaceous kick of gin and bright citrus notes for an incredibly well-balanced drink, but the best part is you can mix and match flavors with your favorite jam for endless possibilities.

Whether you've got strawberry, raspberry, or even a unique blend like apricot and peach, each and every type of jam can offer a new and exciting taste experience. As long as the ratio of jam, citrus, and booze stays the same, you can mix and match, swapping out the gin for tequila, vodka, or rum. Looking for some inspo on some different variations (and fun garnishes)? Here are some of our favorite combos:

• Cherry jam vodka spritz: vodka, club soda, lemon juice + cherry garnish and sugared rim
• Peach jam tequila spritz: tequila, club soda, lime juice, lime garnish, peach jam + Tajín rim
