Blueberry Mojito's



                 A couple weeks ago...I went out to lunch with a girl friend to a swanky
        restaurant and we had Blueberry Mojito's and it was love at first sip. So refreshing
     and so tasty. I knew that very moment I had to re-create it. This drink screams Spring.
                   It would be perfect with any berry. Enjoy and make yourself drink.
                                                             You deserve it!!!!!!

                                                                 Blueberry Mojito's

           1 small container of blueberries, save some for garnish.
           a bunch of mint leaves
           2 tablespoons agave nectar
           3 ounces rum
           1/4 cup of lime juice
           1/2 cup club soda
           lots of ice

          1) In a shaker, smash blueberries and mint together. Pour in, agave, rum, lime juice,
          and club soda....shake.
          2) Add ice to cups and pour your mojito in and serve. Garnish with extra, limes,
          blueberries and mint.

    Hi Val,

    This looks delicious. I've been making several of my favorite cocktails with Agave and it adds a wonderful flavor (and hopefully it's better for you than some of the other sweeteners}. I haven't had a Mojito in a while, so I've got to get right on this! Thanks for sharing :) leslie

    Oh me oh my...and I just happen to have blueberries. And my neighbor has mint. We might just be having a mid-day cocktail tomorrow...it's supposed to be rainy after all. What a better way to think of Spring than sipping a mojito on a rainy day... =0)
