Notes

Expert Tips for the Best CocktailUse Frozen Berries: If you choose to muddle, using frozen blueberries often releases more natural pigments and flavors than fresh ones.The Double Strain: Always use a fine-mesh strainer in addition to your shaker’s strainer. This is crucial for removing blueberry skins and pulp, resulting in a crystal-clear drink.Chill Your Glassware: Place your coupe or martini glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to keep your cocktail crisp and cold for longer.Add a Twist: For a unique flavor profile, try muddling a few fresh cucumber slices along with the berries to add a refreshing, herbaceous note.
