Blueberry Basil Mojito
Our Blueberry Basil Mojito is an easy and refreshing twist on the standard version of this popular cocktail.
Blueberries are a fabulous ingredient to use as a flavor base for mixed drinks, and they pair particularly well with fresh herbs like the basil and mint in this easy recipe.
They aren’t the only fruit you could use to make this drink though. Strawberries, blackberries and honeydew melon would be equally tasty and refreshing.
If you’re hosting a summer party think about offering a variety of fresh fruits and letting your guests choose their favorite.
