There's something special about lemon, blueberries and mint together. Tangy, sweet, tart, and refreshing this lemonade is wonderful on a hot afternoon. The recipe also works well with limes instead of lemons. At that point though, you’re awfully close to making a pitcher of blueberry mojitos. So if you feel you need to take the next step, add a cup of white rum to the pitcher.For Simple Syrup
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1/ ½ cups water
Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan. Boil until the sugar is melted and the liquid is clear. Set aside.
For Lemonade
Simple syrup from above
1 ½ cups fresh lemon juice (Or lime juice if you prefer)
1 lemon sliced (Or lime)
½ cup frozen blueberries
20 small or 10 large mint leaves
5 ½ to 6 ½ cups water to taste
Stir all the ingredients together in a pitcher. Chill until ready to use.

I don't think I've ever had blueberry/mint together before - sounds fab! The color of this lemonade is stunning! Frozen blueberries are such a good thing to have on hand! Laura, your photo a work of art!!!
I was cravine this kind of drink all day yesteday.. now I want some even more!
I had a blueberry mojito once and it was fantastic. I am definitely going to try this!
Either way, I say YES! This does sound like a great combo. I'm definitely going to make a pitcher of these soon....of course I'll end up adding rum.
Mojitos are my very favorite! I will be trying this recipe. I love the picture!
Sounds utterly refreshing.
We haven't had blueberries in ages. Phil isn't allowed to have them. It kills both of us not to have them. I'll have to sneak and make a pitcher of blueberry lemonade when he isn't looking.
Blueberries paired with mint and lemons are quite a potent combination. Add some run and you may have trouble! Well done on this recipe.
Sounds so refreshing. And your photo is gorgeous! I think I will try this...
AHHHHH. I'm making this one. I love all of the flavors!
You are a fabulous photo stylist! I love your work!
Oh yes, this looks perfect for the sticky days to come!!! the mint must make this so refreshing and the blueberries add just enough sweetness, I bet!
Glorious

I LUV mojitos, make them al the time- blackberry, blueberry, traditional, mango and strawberry. What a wonderful combo, though- lemon, mint and bluebebrry. Sounds almost victorian to me, for some reason. I am going to try that the first day of sumemr vaca! Thanks, Laura!
Yay! I hope you like them!!
