Blueberry Basil Moscow Mule

One of my favorite drinks ever is a simple Moscow mule. It’s tangy, sweet, and delicious. Kick the classic up like 20 notches by making it with a homemade blueberry basil simple syrup! You won’t be able to have to original ever again once you try this blueberry Moscow mule.
