Blue Persuasion

Curious to try a TLW regular favorite yourself? Get ready to make "You're My Boy, Blue. You're My Boy!" Combine 1.5 ounces of bourbon with 3/4 ounces St. Germain, 3/4 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 8-10 muddled blueberries. Shake and double strain the liquids over ice in a rocks glass. Complete the drink with a lemon peel garnish.
