Tips
- Pre-chill the glass before pouring so the frozen shake doesn't start melting the moment it's served.
- Use ripe, hulled strawberries — underripe ones add tartness the cinnamon syrup won't fully balance.
- Blend until fully smooth with no pineapple fiber left visible, since a hurricane glass shows every streak.
