Cuisinart Stick Blender

For Christmas, I got a super cool stick blender with a bunch of attachments. In the below picture, from left to right:

1. Motor/handle/on-off button and stick blender attachment
2. Mini food processor
3. Whisk attachment
4. Blending cup
   

So far, I've used it to make blueberry shots on New Year's, a cherry brandy sauce, and pico de gallo.

Blueberry shots:
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
2 T and 2/3 cup vodka, separated
2 T sugar

1. In a blender or with a stick blender, combine the blueberries, 2 T vodka, and sugar.
2. In a martini shaker, add 1 cup of ice and pour 2/3 cup vodka over the top.
   
3. Using a small mesh strainer, pour the blueberry mixture into the shaker, using a spoon to stir the blueberries until only the pulp remains.
   
4. Shake it up, and pour into shot glasses.
   

Makes 4 large shots
