Expert Tips

  • For a very smooth drink double strain using a Hawthorne strainer and a small fine-meshed sieve.
  • You can add an extra 5ml of the blueberry and blackcurrant cordial to make the drink slightly sweeter.
  • This drink can also be served in a cocktail glass without ice in it.
  • If you would like to rim the glass with salt rub a segment of lime around the edge of the glass and dip it in sea salt flakes.
