I won a beautiful hanging basket on Facebook from Garner’s Landscaping & Plant Stand…I was so stoked! I literally can’t remember the last time I won something. So I headed down to my local farmer’s market to claim my prize. While I was there, there were some fresh local blueberries calling my name. So you know what I did
.
Visiting a farmer’s market is so much fun & you know your neighbors’ hands have harvested the crops.
What you’ll need for this cocktail is white rum, fresh blueberries, fresh mint, lime juice, club soda & sugar. I forgot to place the sugar in the photo as an ingredient, but you get the gist!
Although I really do enjoy learning to photograph food & drinks, cocktails are the most difficult for me…imagine…hot evening, sunshine, porch…then there’s that cocktail right in front of your face. I guess I could drink one while I’m photographing, but it would probably be blurred.
Support your local economy & purchase your blueberries local if you can…and make them into something marvelous! Cheers!
