I love this cocktail for many reasons – always good to get blueberries in your diet, it makes two servings, AND it is fresh and simple.
The color is beautiful – a rich hue that just says “chillin out in summer”!
Quite frankly – you can use a muddler (I only had a wooden salad server on hand) – but you can also place blueberries and lime juice in a small blender to pulverize. If you do this, you will probably need to use a wire mesh strainer. Shake it up and enjoy!
Cheers!
