Organic Blueberry Cocktails

 

All it takes is a handful of blueberries to make a blueberry puree that can be added to just about any daiquiri, mojito or mixed drink for extra flavor — not to mention healthy antioxidants. Freeze extra blueberries to enjoy a taste of summer all year long. Try blueberries in these summer cocktails:

Country Thyme
Rainforest Cooler

Growing Tips:
Forgo the $5-per-pint cost for blueberries by growing a bush in your backyard. The berry can be grown almost anywhere and withstand temperatures as cold as minus-10 degrees.

Give your blueberry bush a home it'd want in the wild: where it can absorb full sun, and in acidic soil with a pH level between 4.0 and 6.0, depending on the variety.
