Blueberry Lime Mocktail - Paleo, GF

My husband and I don't drink cocktails very much, but I still love a good refreshing drink. This blueberry and lime mocktail came from a craving on a HOT summer night. Not the sexy kind of hot, the sweaty armpits kind of hot. I needed something refreshing and this drink was perfect.

To get the blueberry flavor, I made an easy simple syrup. All it requires is blueberries, honey and a touch of water. After it's cooked you can run it through a sieve (mesh strainer) to get the skins out but it's up to you. I left them in, mostly because I didn't feel like straining it, but the skins didn't bother me. I used a berry flavored La Croix for the sparkling water, but you could use whatever flavor you want.

You could absolutely make this a delicious cocktail if you wanted to. I would recommend your favorite clear liquor for this flavor profile, but you do you. You can replace the sparkling water or even do half and half. I used regular ice cubes for this, but frozen blueberries would be great too so that it doesn't water it down at all.
