Bourbon and Blues

You may recall me talking about some delicious blueberry preserves my mother-in-law made earlier this past summer during blueberry-picking season up in Michigan.  They featured prominently in my Death's Lady cocktail.  This is another recipe that came from that batch of deliciousness.  I had some extra Bulleit hanging around, and wanted to figure out a way to use it up.  This was quite the successful way of doing that.  I think I went through nearly four bottles the few days I featured this.  It's very simple to execute and very refreshing.
