"I got this recipe from my good friend, who has a blueberry field. She, in turn, got it from the Blueberry Council. I have not personally tried the recipe, but with blueberry season just around the corner, it will certainly be on the "to do" list!!"

This drink is so refreshing and light I wish I had made a pitcher full! I used the juice of one whole lime, used about 6 mint leaves and also used Sprite in place of the lemonade and club soda, otherwise made as directed. Next time I will know to make more ; ) Thank you so much, Abby Girl!
