It’s really hot in Denver and the forecast doesn’t show any relief for the next five days. That’s why summer cocktails, like the blueberry lavender mojito below, are so tempting. Not only is it pretty to look at, I am really into lavender right now ever since destroying a box of lemon and lavender shortbread cookies from Whole Foods a few weeks ago.

I might just have to whip up a batch this weekend when the kids go to bed (not my kids…Mike and I are babysitting our twin nieces and nephew from Saturday morning to Sunday evening. Wish us luck!).

Happy weekend friends!
