{Recipe} ~ Sparkling Strawberry-Mint Limeade

Happy Memorial Day! First, thank you to all the men and women who make our freedom possible and the sacrifices they make every single day!

While you all enjoy this holiday by the pool, on the lake, or at the beach - make this drink to tag along with you! It's so yummy (and pretty, too)! I love Kelly's website - I haven't found a bad recipe yet!

Sparkling Strawberry-Mint Limeade
from Eat Yourself Skinny

3 cups sliced strawberries

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup agave nectar

1 bottle champagne, chilled

Extra mint and lime wedges as garnish

Combine sliced strawberries, mint leaves, lime juice, water and agave nectar in a blender and process until smooth.  Serve about a 1/2 cup of strawberry mixture with a 1/2 cup of champagne, stirring to combine.  Garnish with extra mint leaves and lime wedges and enjoy!

Definitely make sure you blend this well in the blender! Mine wasn't very blended, and I ended up with several large mint leaves in my mouth - eek! Once blended, it's delicious and refreshing!

Let me know what you think!
