General Notes
Glassware:
- Blueberry Cabana: Collins glass
- Blueberry Rhumba: Hurricane glass
- Blueberry Martini: Martini glass
Ice:
- Use fresh, quality ice for all cocktails
- For the Cabana and Rhumba, larger cubes or chunks work best
- The Martini should be stirred with large mixing ice
Techniques:
- The Cabana is built directly in the glass
- The Rhumba requires a vigorous shake to properly combine the fruit juices
- The Martini should be stirred, not shaken, to maintain clarity
Tips for Success:
- Use fresh citrus juice whenever possible
- Chill glasses in advance for optimal serving temperature
- Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of shrub
- Quality spirits will significantly improve the final drink
Note: All recipes assume the use of our published house-made blueberry shrub. Adjust proportions as needed based on the sweetness and acidity of your specific shrub.
