Florida Blueberry Sauce

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer while stirring. Cook blueberry compote for 6 to 10 minutes until thickened. Let cool and then puree blueberry sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth. Keep cold until ready to use.

Florida Orange and Blue Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, add rum, orange juice and lime juice. Fill shaker halfway with ice. Place the top on the shaker and vigorously shake for at least 30 seconds. Fill two Collins glasses with ice. Use a small spoon to add 1 teaspoon of the blueberry syrup to the rim of each glass. Use an ice strainer to pour the rum mixture evenly into the glasses. Garnish each drink with a fresh orange peel and a few Florida blueberries. Drink responsibly.
