Rhubarb strips

If you want to make this infusion, simply get yourself some rhubarb.
chop the strips into pieces (about an inch long).
insert the pieces into a mason jar and cover with your favorite gin.
after about 3-4 days pour the contents through a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth on top.
and that’s it, you just got yourself a pink rhubarb gin.

For the blueberries puree, it’s really easy.
you can choose between two methods.
the first one is simply to muddle some blueberries inside your cocktail shaker and after you shake everything just double strain the drink.
the other one is to press the berries through a strainer to get only their meat out.
the later method will result in a more clear cocktail.
