Blueberry Cucumber Sparkler

Blueberry Cucumber SparklerDuring the summertime I tend to gravitate toward lighter cocktails with fresh ingredients. This cocktail is simple, refreshing, and can be easily customized with your favorite fruits and herbs. Today I chose cucumber, mint, and blueberries. On other days I’ve also tried strawberries, blackberries, cilantro, rosemary, and grapefruit (not all at the same time, of course!). Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite flavor combinations.

Squeeze the juice of half a lime. Mix with a long spoon or straw. Taste test and add more lime juice or sweetener if you like.
