1 1/2 cups blueberries |
1/4 cup strawberry |
1/4 cup raspberries (may substitute blackberries) |
1 cup ice cube |
1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice |
2 tablespoons vodka |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint |
mint sprig (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Blend berries, ice, juice, vodka, sugar and mint about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Some seeds will remain.
2. Transfer to large glasses and garnish with mint springs.
3. Cheers to your health!
