Chocolatini Cocktail Recipe

You may want to decorate the side of the glass with a chocolate Easter egg to add a fun touch. This can be served as a dessert or you can enjoy anytime that you feel like indulging your sweet tooth. We also have some other garnish ideas! Rim the glass with cocoa, dip a strawberry into melted chocolate and add it to the rim, or sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon to add some contrast!

Blueberry Mint Cocktail
This bright, fruity spring style cocktail is incredibly refreshing! You can even try to use wild blueberries found in the frozen section of your local grocery store to give it even more flavor. Your easter brunch will be full of joy with this exciting drink!
Ingredients:
2 cups blueberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
3 sprigs mint, plus more for garnish
1 cup whiskey or mezcal, optional
Club Soda
How to make it:
- Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon, juice, mint and 1 1/3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries begin to pop, 8-10 minutes; let cool. Discard mint. Transfer the mixture into a blender and process until smooth.
