The traditional combination of cointreau (orange) and amaretto (almond) with earl grey tea (bergamot) all happens to go incredibly well with blueberry and basil.
Here is a classic with a burst of real blueberry flavour.
This recipe does not really work sans alcohol, but adding less of each spirit still tastes amazing.
