Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the blueberry base in advance?
Yes, you can muddle and strain the blueberry and mint mixture up to 4 hours ahead and keep it refrigerated.
Do I need a cocktail shaker?
While a shaker helps chill the drink quickly, you can also stir the ingredients in a tall glass if you don't have one.
How do I get the best flavor from the mint?
Gently slap the mint leaves between your palms before muddling to release the essential oils without making them bitter.
