This recipe looked wonderful for a hot summer day. It is never too early to start planning your Independence Day celebration, this would be a perfect drink to serve, especially if you added a couple of blueberries to the garnish.

I love anything that is like a smoothie and this seems like it would be tasty and refreshing too! Now I have a drink project for next weekend.
