The holiday weekend is finally here friends! It’s time to toast the unofficial start of Summer 2017!
Any plans for the holiday weekend guys? Big parties? BBQ’s? Me? I’ll be relaxing at the beach, with one of my favorite cocktails in hand, today’s Blueberry Kiwi Mojito. Is there any better way?! I’ll also be enjoying something mouthwatering right off the BBQ along with my Gram’s Easy Macaroni Salad, some Baked Three Bean Casserole, and either my Creamy, Dreamy Peanut Butter Pie or my Berry Cobbler with Sweet Biscuit Topping. Decisions, decisions!
My friends at Powell & Mahoney have made making my favorite cocktail even easier with their new cans of Sparkling Mojito. They were nice enough to send me a few cans from their first batch. (One of the fabulous perks of being a food blogger!) They should be available on their website shortly and popping up in a store near you this summer! They’ve got four delicious flavors…Sparkling Mojito, Sparkling Tonic, Ginger Beer and Blood Orange Ginger Beer. You need to get your hands on some! It makes craft cocktailing at home so deliciously easy!
Just in case you missed my Watermelon Mint Margarita for Cinco de Mayo, let me get you up to speed on Powell & Mahoney. Their mixers are made with natural ingredients, hand-selected juices, pure cane sugar and agave and no artificial flavors or preservatives. And they’re gluten free!
For this Blueberry Kiwi Mojito, simply muddle your blueberries, kiwi slices and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the juice of one lime wedge, your light rum and some ice, then shake it up and strain into an ice filled cocktail glass. Top it off with your P & M Sparkling Mojito and garnish with some extra blueberries, kiwi slices and a sprig of mint. Then get ready to par-tay friends!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone and an awesome Summer of 2017! I hope you enjoy good weather and great times with family and friends! As usual, thank you so much for following along at the BHK!! And I wouldn’t be a good mother if I didn’t add, if you’ll be enjoying a cocktail or two this holiday weekend, drink responsibly! Enjoy!

I can’t wait for the weekend with this cocktail in hand. I have never seen these cocktail mixers but what a great idea and mojitos are my favorite. I love the way you sweetened it up with all that fresh fruit. Hope you have a great weekend at the beach – did I mention lately how jealous I am that you live at the beach!? Sigh…
I’m hoping the weather cooperates Karen! We can’t have a Memorial Day at the beach without sunny weather. I hope you have a great weekend too. Enjoy the cocktail. Cheers!
This looks so pretty, Mary Ann! Love the blueberry/kiwi combo! Looks like quite the delicious thirst quencher ;) I’ll have to keep an eye out for those sparkling mojitos – so convenient! Pinned and will have to try soon when the weather warms :) We had our long weekend this past weekend and that extra day is so good! Hope you have a relaxing, food-filled one! Enjoy, my friend! xo
It is incredibly refreshing Dawn! I’ve always been a fan of mojitos. So many flavor options! Hoping the weather warms soon for you. Happy weekend and thanks so much for pinning! XO
Oh my goodness! I love the color of this mojito! I happen to have an abundance of mint taking over my garden, so I’m thinking some mojitos are in order – STAT!
Go for it Rachelle! You’re going to love them. Happy Memorial Day!
I’m booking a flight to your house, Mary Ann! ;) Sounds like you have a fabulous, relaxing weekend planned! We have a bunch of things planned, but none of them are relaxing. Lol. I’ll need to live vicariously through you, so do me a favor and enjoy a few of these beautiful mojitos for me!! These look absolutely delicious and so gosh darn pretty! I need to be on the look out for Powell & Mahoney Sparkling Mojito because I do like pre-made mixes if they are good, and I KNOW you have stellar taste! Cheers, friend – to a weekend as wonderful as you!
You’re welcome any time Chey! I not only love the taste of these but that color wins me over too! Mojitos have always been a fave of mine. Happy weekend Chey. Hope you get in some relaxing time!

My mouth is watering just thinking about this beauty! I’ll be thinking about you relaxing at the beach this weekend, as we’ll be in Placid enjoying temperatures in the 50’s! Yikes! Well have to make a few of these mojitos to take our minds off the autumn weather! ;)
I’m hoping Mother Nature cooperates here and in Lake Placid and warms us all up Annie! Have a great weekend!
