This past weekend, I headed to Newport, Rhode Island
to celebrate my good friend, Julia’s wedding, the creative, preppy chick behind
LemonsandLoafers.com.
This is her awesomely-creative wedding agenda
(and check out the background pict of where the ceremony took place…
SO, SO gorg)
It was AMAZING weather this weekend.
So, the day before the wedding,
my boyfriend and I took a leisurely
bike ride along Ocean Drive.
A lengthy road aligned with massive mansions,
ocean views, cliffs and sailboats galore.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
The day of the wedding, we hit up Castle Inn,
a restaurant we spotted on our bike ride…so, so relaxing and so, so pretty.
We ate lobster rolls and drank blueberry lemonade (he had a bloody mary),
while we watched a sailboat race…
so Rhode Island of us, right?!
This blueberry lemonade recipe was inspired by the genius bartender from Castle Inn.
Disclosure: I spotted other people drinking it and ordered it
because of the bright n’ pretty color, which I thought were actually
blackberries!
When I returned to NY, I had to emulate it.
Here’s the Be Well with Arielle version-
sin vodka, made w/ real lemons + raw agave.
Be Well with Arielle’s Blueberry Lemonade
1 serving
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 lemon
3 tbs frozen blueberries
3 tsp raw agave
3 cups water (or seltzer)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Squeeze lemon
(cut in half and use a lemon squeezer
or a fork, like me!)
2. Add agave, water, blueberries and mix
3. Add a pretty straw and voila!
Castle Inn’s version
was def better – maybe it was the “real” sugar, or the view?
*wink wink.
Either way, tastes great, so try it!
Enjoy!
Be sweet. Be tart. Be well.
xoxo
be well,
arielle
