Was requested 'something with blueberries' ended up freestyling based on this with bourbon & rye 2:1, no apple, a few bar spoons of blueberry compote, addition of lemon as well as lime juice, a bit more syrup and light bar spoon of Benedictine. Prepped and served per recipe with a twist of lemon. No idea if this makes sense to anyone else but it came out pretty good.

I will admit we used a couple minor modifications, but we really enjoyed this drink. I had apple cider vs juice, and we went a little light on the sugar syrup.
