The Genovia Mocktail (Original Recipe)

The Story

Another mocktail with a movie tie-in. This riff on the Ramona was created while watching “The Princess Diaries”, so it gets it’s name from the fictional country presided over by Julie Andrews (or Queen Clarisse Rinaldi).

This mocktail can use bottled orange juice in a pinch, but if you have the time, we recommend juicing the oranges for maximum flavor! The blueberry, on the other hand, need not be juiced. There is a great line of fruit syrups at most liquor stores (links provided in the recipe below) that are good for both the blueberry and passion fruit syrups.

Make sure to double strain this mocktail to remove any un-wanted ice chips and keep it smooth as silk!

Cheers!

The Recipe

4 oz Fresh Orange Juice

4 oz Pineapple Juice

1½ oz Blueberry Syrup

1 oz Passion Fruit Syrup

The Build

All all ingredients to a cocktail shaker

Add ice and shake for 8-10 seconds

Double strain into a chilled low ball glass (no ice)

Garnish with three cocktail cherries

Blueberry Bantha – Member Created Cocktail

The Story

This is our first member created cocktail, not created by one of the founders. We are thrilled to feature Leif’s tasty cocktail as the first of our “member created” series.

A well known fan of all things Star Wars, Leif found a creative way to combine blueberries with an often overlook liqueur, Limon Rum Chata! Leif’s original recipe is served on the rocks with minimal straining. We also discovered that if you like a cocktail served “up” (no ice) you can modify this drink. No change in the recipe, just double strain into a chilled glass.

Thank you Leif for raising this glass for all of us to enjoy!! Cheers! And May the Force be with You!!!

The Recipe

¾ oz Fresh Lime Juice

1 oz Cointreau

1 oz Limon RumChata

2 oz Gin (Old Tom Gin works well)

8-10 fresh blueberries (will be muddled)

The Build

Add blueberries to a shaker tin and muddle into a nice paste

Add all the liquids to the shaker tin

Add 0.5 cup of ice cubes

Shake for 20-30 seconds (the longer the better)

Strain into a prepared rocks glass with ice cubes

Option for cocktails served “up””Double strain into a chilled coupe glass
