December Sunrise: Virtual Vegan Potluck

December to me means citrus!  In the and of forever summer December means fresh squeezed orange juice and eating lots of grapefruits.  I was very excited to see that citrus was the featured ingredient in this Virtual Vegan Potluck.  So I decided to spice up my orange juice and make a beverage.

Today I am bringing a little drink I like to call December Sunrise to the potluck.  I had the idea to make my orange juice pink and minty.  So I added blueberries and mint and ended up with a tart and refreshing drink.  If you would like you can add water and the sweetener of your choice.

1/4 cup blue berries

Confession:  I added white wine to my cocktail and called it sangria.
