This gorgeous take on the whisky sour cocktail will spice up your next happy hour! Infused with a California blueberry syrup spiked with lemon and cinnamon, it's the perfect marriage of flavors. 

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

FOR THE BLUEBERRY SYRUP
1 pint fresh California blueberries
