    Summer is finally, officially here! Let’s kick off our shoes and celebrate with a cool, refreshing blueberry mojito mocktail!

    This is the fourth year in a row that I’ve created a signature cocktail to kick off the summer! The first was in 2015, when we created a crowd-pleasing cocktail to serve at our wedding reception. It was such a fun way to celebrate the flavors of the season that I’ve created a signature summer cocktail every year since, and this year is no exception. Since we’re expecting our first baby (A BOY!!) this September, this year’s drink is a mocktail (though I’ve included a note in the recipe for those of you looking for something a little stronger).

    This blueberry mojito mocktail is everything I want in a summery drink. The fresh blueberries, muddled mint, and lime juice create a lightly sweet and super fruity blend. Packed with ice and topped with a splash of club soda, the drink is a little bit bubbly and 100% refreshing. It's a fun, fruity take on a classic mojito.

    Make the blueberry simple syrup.

    • Strain the syrup into a glass jar and let cool to room temperature.

    Make the mocktail.

    • Add mint leaves and blueberries to a glass with lime juice. Muddle the berries and mint.

      The mint and blueberry as told in this recipe make a perfect combination and a never-ending urge to drink more is a byproduct of this recipe. Thankfully, I came across this article and the recipe and it's so refreshing!
