I love serving a signature drink when having company—it adds that extra special touch to any gathering. While whipping up homemade lemonade for the kids, I started brainstorming something unique for the adults. With blueberries on sale, I had a lightbulb moment: a fresh blueberry puree combined with vodka and lemonade. It’s incredibly refreshing, and don’t worry—this puree is a breeze to make in your blender in less than 5 minutes.
One of my absolute favorites to serve is this Tequila Gimlet. Who knew I was such a tequila girl? Turns out I’m all in! Curious about more drink ideas? Check out all of my cocktail recipes here.
