Jam Jar Cocktail or Mocktail

This is a handy little drink, because it’s totally portable. You make the entire thing in a jam jar, then you can just screw on the lid and take it with you. I like taking mine to the beach, to the pool, or to a picnic.

You can do this with booze or without, and all of the ingredients are locally sourced! Yeah! Let’s hear it for locally sourced BC Ingredients, and let’s support local this summer!

Oh, and the flavour theme for this one is blueberry, which is soooo seasonal right now!

Here are the links to the locally-sourced ingredients for this Jam Jar Cocktail or Mocktail:

• The Jam: Saltspring Kitchen Blueberry Basil
• The Pomegranate Juice: PoJu
• The Gin: Arbutus Blue Gin 

PS here are 4 other locally-sourced beverages to enjoy this summer!
