Wild Blueberry Fizz
Has anyone ever given you something that left you truly inspired? Artist Mary Elizabeth shared here new hand painted peacock glasses with me recently that definitely called for this vibrant, fizzy drink recipe. Keep reading for where to find Mary's beautiful pieces along with these wild blueberry cocktails:
I love the way Mary Elizabeth says she like's to think of herself as being a guest at dinner parties around the world through her art. With these Mary hand paints each in her Chapel Hill, North Carolina studio using durable painting methods that are dish washer safe. Find the above peacock feathery high balls over here and on her etsy gift shop over here.
To go with the beautiful turquoise and blue glasses here's a sweet drink that uses a shrub (acidic syrup + fruit + brown sugar) with plenty of ice, wild Maine blueberries and a splash of rum. Oh and the fizz comes from seltzer instead of egg whites in this one. OK, let's get muddling...
