This seems easy enough and the perfect dessert (or breakfast treat) for a BBQ on Memorial Day Weekend.

Great minds think alike? I love this cocktail recipe too!  rockabyebucktown: Blueberry Smash While putting together a menu for a Memorial Day BBQ, I came across this delicious summer cocktail - the Blueberry Smash. The perfect combination of acidic citrus and sweet berries (and the vodka doesn’t hurt either). Would pair nicely with bison burgers and a lobster Cobb salad, I think! 2 lemons, sliced into rounds 2 limes, sliced into rounds 1 cup fresh blueberries 1/2 cup (loosely packed) fresh mint leaves plus sprigs for garnish 1 1/2 cups vodka 3/4 cup St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) Using a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, coarsely mash lemon and lime slices, blueberries and mint leaves in a large pitcher. Stir in vodka, St. Germain and 2 cups of ice cubes. Divide drink among coupe or highball glasses; top with more ice cubes. Garnish each drink with a mint sprig. [Via Bon Appetit - June 2012]

Nothing seems more celebratory to me than mojitos in the heat! With scorching temps in store for Chicago’s Memorial Day weekend I plan on whipping up some mango mojitos to relive our honeymoon. So after I get through the few emails I have for work today I’ll whip up a shopping list and then will let the festivities begin!

Well… no booze until post race (hydrate, hydrate, hydrate) but mentally I’ll begin the festivities.
