Veruca Salt

1.5 oz Gin (Plymouth)
.75 oz Blueberry / Cucumber Shrub
  .5 oz Dolin Blanc
dash Grapefruit Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Here is another drink I made w/ the homemade blueberry shrubs from last week.  I worked off a recipe in this post from the cocktail virgin blog with a couple of changes to the recipe.  First I used Plymouth gin instead of Hendricks because it is what I had on hand.  To give it some cucumber notes I used a blueberry / cucumber shrub.  I also subbed Dolin Blanc for the Lillet, but I think next time I'll try it with Cocchi.

Unsurprisingly the smell is dominated by the shrub with funky cucumber and vinegar notes.  The taste begins with blueberries, switches to a little gin burn before fininishing with bitterness and citrus.  Riding over all of the phases is the cucumber taste.  This was a very refreshing drink.  I will have to try it with Cocchi though because I'd like there to be more bitterness on the end to contrast the shrub's sweetness.
