Wired Gin

The Perfect End-of-Summer Gin Dessert

Most people think of gin as the perfect aperitif. Cleansing the palate with a fine, crisp gin cocktail is the perfect way to prepare for a marvelous meal. But, gin for dessert? How rebellious! Daring! And tasty. Here’s a simply delightful  recipe that will cure your end-of-summer doldrums:

Wired Gin Berry Sundaes

In a small saucepan, combine:

• 1/3 cup gin (we prefer Junipero or Tanqueray for their stronger flavor)
• 1 cup blueberries or blackberries (if possible seek out your local farmers’ market for the ripest)
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Simmer about five minutes until the berries just start to break open. Cool. Pour over vanilla ice cream – preferably homemade – and enjoy the dog days of summer from a whole new perspective.
