Beauty Bestie's Blueberry Mojito

I knew I wanted to try this drink ever since I attended this year’s Forbes Power Women’s Summit, where Blake Lively launched her line of non-alcoholic beverages and mixers called Betty Buzz.

What better reason to mix up a festive drink than to celebrate than the holiday season? It’s time of year that can be stressful for those of us in recovery. So, I find that it’s always a classy move to offer non-alcoholic options for your guests. For the next three weeks, I’ll share mocktail recipes that can be converted into alcoholic beverages using Betty Buzz mixers for your holiday sipping delight.
