Method
step 1
Tip the sugar and 60ml water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Once melted, stir in the blueberries and ginger and cook for 15-20 mins until the blueberries have completely broken down. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
step 2
Stir in the vinegar and tip into a fine metal sieve set over a bowl. Let the juices drip through slowly for 15-20 mins, then discard the contents of the sieve. Will keep chilled for up to a week. To serve, drizzle 1 tbsp of the shrub over ice and top up with sparkling water. Garnish the glass with blueberries and pared orange zest threaded onto a cocktail stick, if you like.
