Ingredients

Blueberry Preserves – Either store bought or homemade. Homemade makes for a better mocktail but the preserves are a great choice also.

Instructions

To a large shaker add the torn basil leaves and 1 tbsp of the lemonade.
Muddle the basil leaves until the lemonade has a green tint to it. You want the basil leaves to really be smushed.
Add the blueberry jam and ice to the shaker, then add the lemonade.
Shake everything to combine.
Add ice to a glass and pour the lemonade mix into the glass.
If you like it less sweet top with club soda.
Use fresh basil leaves and blueberries for garnish desired.

Use a simple lemonade recipe whether it’s store bought or homemade. I used the Simply Lemonade you can find in the refrigerator section of the supermarket
