Step 1

Make the blueberry juice: Add the blueberries and water to a blender and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and pulse once or twice, until combined.

Step 2

Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (or cheesecloth, for a smoother juice) into a small bowl. Set aside until ready to use. The blueberry juice will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add the Crown Royal, lemon juice, tangerine juice, and simple syrup. Place the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 1 minute, until the outside of the shaker is frosty.

Step 4

Add fresh ice to a rocks glass, then strain the cocktail into the glass. Hold a spoon upside down over the glass, close to the surface, and slowly pour ½ ounce (15 ml) of the blueberry juice over the spoon on top of the drink.

Step 5

Enjoy!
