we'll take a glass together.

the tony awards happened last night and i was fully in my element. a living room full of my favorite people, with a menu of delicious salad, homemade mac & cheese, and three different desserts? heaven.

and though the awards were exciting, and the performances were, for the most part, top notch (memphis again? really you guys?), the highlight of the evening has to be the in-house cocktail, my new summer favorite: blueberry lemonade.

to make this fabulous (and so so feminine) libation, you need the following:

- one lemon (sliced into thin wedges)
- a package of blueberries
- blueberry vodka (smirnoff is the cheapest, but stoli is smoother)
- lemonade (concentrated or not, we used both types)
- ice
- a muddler
- a martini shaker

1.  drop a few blueberries and one lemon wedge into the shaker and muddle together until both are sufficiently mashed
2. add ice about halfway
3. pour in chilled vodka
4. add lemonade to the top of the ice
5. cover and shake it up!
6. strain into a fun glass, add a lemon wedge as garnish and toss some whole blueberries into the drink. andd you're ready to get drunk without even realizing it!
