There's something really refreshing about a cool crisp summer drink. Especially one that highlights the fabulous flavor of blueberries. At this point in my life, I choose to no longer drink alcohol (not that I ever drank that much to begin with). It turns out lots of people feel the same way I do and are choosing to eschew the alcohol.
But while more people are drinking less, there aren't that many delicious choices for us. So I came up with this fruity, sparkling mocktail recipe. I think it's perfect that it uses blueberries because July happens to be National Blueberry Month. If you really want to mix things up you can substitute raspberries or white peaches for the fruit and make a red, white, and blue mocktail bar to share with the family.
