Two Delicious Cocktails to Celebrate National Blueberry Month

New Jersey is one of 10 states that account for 98% of blueberries grown in the U.S. So, it's only natural that I love this tasty little berry and make every attempt to use it in any kind of recipe, including cocktails.

Since July is National Blueberry Month, we'll be celebrating by visiting a local farm to pick (and sample) all the blueberry goodness we can get our hands on. And when we return home, I'll treat myself to one of these two tasty cocktails.
