Notes
I find that using fresh blueberries makes a big difference in flavor, but frozen ones can work too. Adjust the lime juice to taste if you like it more or less tart.
You can switch vodka with gin for a different kick. Feel free to explore by adding different fruits or herbs. Share your variations in the comments! 🍇
