Blueberry Vodka Lemonade

Sometimes mama needs a drink...

I found this recipe on Pinterest last year and I drank more than my fair share of them last summer. Well, it's summer time again so here we go!

Fill a mason jar about 1/2 way with blueberries (either fresh or thawed frozen)
Fill that jar with vodka. (any brand, I used Tito's Handmade Vodka)
Store in fridge for 3-5 days.
Once a day or so, open the jar and squish the blueberries. Not really vital but helps make the vodka taste more 'blueberry-ery'.
After a few days, mix one parts blueberry vodka with two parts lemonade.

Serve over ice, with a few of the blueberries and enjoy!

DELISH! This is a strong drink, if you are not a heavyweight, so drink with caution! But a great drink for enjoying a summer afternoon!

Blueberry Love

We visited the local blueberry picking farm the other day. I highly suggest this activity if you have one near you. Not only do you get a quick, fun, learning experience for the kids, but you get great, healthy food to make a plethora of recipes from.

Blue Harvest Farms uses no pesticides so you can eat RIGHT off the bush! How cool is that!?? Located in Covington, LA off Hwy 21, it's a reasonably priced activity for all. At 10.00 a gallon or 2.00 a pound, it's far cheaper, even with gas, than the 4.00 a pint (or more) price for blueberries in the store. And you picked these yourself, it sounds like work, but it's fun!

Check out Blue Harvest Farms site and Facebook page for details on hours and tips.

Here's our little bit of fun while visiting...
