Equipment and Glassware

Pro Tips

• Use frozen blueberries instead of fresh for a colder, thicker consistency without diluting flavor.
• Chill your glass ahead of time for a longer-lasting slush.
• For a sweeter drink, add 0.5 oz simple syrup or agave nectar.
• For a salt-and-sweet contrast, try a sugar-salt rim or Tajín for a spicy edge.
• Want a more vibrant color? Add a few extra blueberries and adjust ice levels as needed.
• Always use fresh lime and lemon juice for the brightest citrus punch.
