This drink is SO refreshing and satisfying! Perfect for backyard lounging or pool parties! We made ours without alcohol, but we did experiment with vodka and rum. Rum makes it more mojito-like, which we are totally down with.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup blueberries
- 10 mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Cherry-flavored sparkling water
- Ice
- 2 ounces rum or vodka (optional)
Directions:
- Add blueberries, mint, lemon juice, and sugar into a glass or jar. Smash with a wooden spoon and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Pour in 2 ounces of sparkling water and stir.
- Strain into a serving glass filled with ice. Top with sparkling water. If making it into an adult beverage, 2 ounces of rum or vodka is a nice touch.
