It's hot here today ... again. Ok, just had to get my little whine in. :) The blueberry gods have been very good to me this year. I've pulled about 8 pounds off the plants so far, and there's still plenty more out there. Every other year I get just enough to eat them all. This year not only have I put some in the freezer, but I'm looking for ways to use them. With the weather at 100 degrees, blueberry lemonade sounded very refreshing... and it was!I used Simply Lemonade because I didn't have enough fresh lemons to make some from scratch.
You will need:
Lemonade, fresh or bottled (but please don't use Minute Maid)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon sugar
Splash of vodka
Puree blueberries in a blender, strain through a mesh strainer to remove skin and seeds into 2 tall glasses. Fill glass the rest of the way with lemonade and ice (and another splash of vodka if you're so inclined).
If I had it, I would have garnished with mint (maybe even muddled a little into the cup too)!
~ Enjoy ~
P.S. - I love strawberry lemonade .... but the blueberry version is better. My husband doesn't eat blueberry anything, and he liked it!
