In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil.

Once boiling, take off of heat and stir in the mint leaves.

let sit for 30 minutes or until the syrup has reached your desired minty-ness :)

Strain the syrup and discard mint leaves (you can leave them in if you want them in the drink). This is your simple syrup.

In a food processor or blender, blend the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. set aside. This is your puree.

In a shaker, combine equal parts whiskey and puree (I chose one shot of each, about 1.5 ounces) and about 2 shots of the simple syrup. if you prefer you drink stiffer, use more whiskey and less syrup.

Pour over ice.

Wear your best derby hat and enjoy!
