A fun little twist on a delicious summery drink! These Blueberry Mojitos are super fresh and yummy.
Ever go down a rabbit hole? How this summery fresh Blueberry Mojitos recipe came about is in that hole. So as a graphic designer, I love white space. It offers balance and peace to a design. But people want to fill every bit of blankness with unnecessary text or graphics and this is stressful to one who appreciates the serenity of white paper.
Somehow, this need to preserve nothingness in my designs does not carry over into my own life. It is hard-wired in my DNA to want to pack my life to the brim. This is good on one hand. Things are never dull. My family and I make tons of memories. We have many important people in our lives. But I can get run down easily. I am in constant search for that perfect balance. That’s where this summer cocktail popped up into my blog!
I labeled last night with an impromptu Mojito Monday! This delicious little Blueberry Mojito helped to shove me into some needed white space. Also, I realized that I need to give you all the summery recipes! Coming soon will be a flood of more fruity drinks, salads, grilling recipes and frozen desserts. I love summer!
I thought I’d do a bit of a twist on the delicious little Mojito, so here you go. Introducing the Blueberry Mojito! It is fresh, simple and delicious and it goes down very easily.
