Nantucket Lemonade (Summer Drink Recipe)

This punch gets its name from a concoction the author whipped up for a dockside get-together on the island several summers ago. The ginger ale balances the tart lemon and lime citrus tones, while the cranberry juice adds sweetness and vivid, festive color. After all, if you're going to name a drink after one of the cranberry capitals of the world, the juice should star.

blueberry smash

1 1/4 ounces Bacardi Limon rum
2 ounces of fresh mint simple syrup (see recipe below)
Small handful of fresh blueberries
Splash of fresh lime juice
Method:
Prepare mint simple syrup. In an old-fashioned style glass, add blueberries and about ½ ounce of mint syrup. Muddle (smash) the blueberries against the bottom of the glass until crushed. Add ice, limon rum, and lime juice. Stir well. If needed, sweeten with additional mint syrup to taste

Fresh Mint Simple Syrup

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh mint leaves

Combine sugar, water, and mint in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook just until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool before using. Very good summer drink recipe.
