July is National Blueberry Month. It seems summer leaves whisky behind and focuses on sangrias, lemonade and vodka and sweet teas. Don't forget the whisky and the blueberries.
Ingredients:
3 oz whisky (Maker's Mark)
10-12 fresh blueberries
8-10 fresh blackberries
12 oz ginger beer
ice
mint and lime wedge for garnish
Combine whisky, blueberries and blackberries in a blender. Puree until almost smooth. Place a handful of ice in two glasses. Pour half the whisky mix in each glass and add 6 oz of ginger beer to each. Garnish each with mint and lime.
CELEBRATE BLUEBERRY MONTH!
ENJOY!
