Guess what today is? A very special day to celebrate my super friend Jenny (aka: Picky Palate) Jenny is having a baby boy really soon and a group of gals are having a virtual baby shower for her! I have decided to bring a cool, summery Blueberry Mint Agua Fresca (healthy fruit punch) to the celebration.
This refreshing drink is simple to prepare and is oh so party pretty.
Jenny, we are all so excited for you and your family, we can’t wait to meet your little guy!
I hope you like this little invite I made for you. A little blue and green, perfect for a baby boy.
Blueberry Mint Agua Fresca is vibrant and tasty for a super fun day of celebrating.
Top your fresca with some edible flowers for a vibrant twist.
Add a few springs of fresh mint too.
Remember the Sweet Honey Mint Green Tea I posted recently? That will be your base for this.
Have any of you been to a baby shower lately? I have not for reals. It is so fun that we can all get together online to celebrate friends and loved ones.
Jenny, I sure hope that you are enjoying your surprise party. So many of your online friends have created stunning recipes and creations for you today.
By the way, we are all sooooo excited about your upcoming cookbook too!
Have you ever thrown a baby or a bridal shower? What do you like to prepare?

Julie, I am gonna dash around now to see everything you all created! Thanks for joining in 🙂
Marla, this looks so vibrant and refreshing! I definitely need to try making this! Thanks so much to you and Amanda for organizing the baby shower! xo
You’re right–that is a beautiful-looking drink! Sounds delicious as well–I love fresh mint in a drink (mojitos are the best!).
Marla!!! What a gorgeous blueberry drink! As always your photos are stunning. Thanks for putting together such a sweet virtual baby shower for me. You ladies made my day! Love you! xoxo
Glad you are having fun celebrating your baby shower around the web today. I am sooooo impressed by all of the beautiful posts. Enjoy! XO
Marla-Great job putting together a fabulous party! Love your ague fresco recipe-so bright in taste and color.
As for what I us usually bring-decorated sugar cookies. It’s really the only time I bust those outs.
Beautiful beverage! Perfect for the shower!
This. Lots of it. As soon as possible. Really great ingredients but always love mint and berries together. And so nice of you to help organize all of this. Another shining example of the person you are. Cheers!
THIS is one fabuluso lookin’ drink.
Marla, what a great way to celebrate a baby shower! Such a clever idea. Blueberry-mint agua-fresca looks and tastes brilliant. Even water can look pretty! 🙂
Thanks Marina ~ those edible flowers always help to fancy things up. Not to mention the natural beauty of blueberries!
This is by far the most gorgeous drink of all time.
YUM! This looks wonderful, Marla. I need to make this pronto! Thanks so much for organizing everything for the shower. So fun!
Ah, I need that now! It is so hot here…
Cheers,
Rosa
Thank you for organizing this amazing event with Amanda – and for making something beautiful to drink. We could use something to wash down all the sugar all the rest of us made 🙂
xo
Your welcome Averie, this drink should help soften the sugar blow 😉
Looks wonderful darling! Thanks so much for organizing this- everyone did such a delicious job toasting Jenny!
Marla, this is so, so beautiful! I wish we were together celebrating in real life!
Love your pennants and buttons, too! Thank you to you and Amanda for setting this up for Jenny…you guys are the best!
I can’t believe how beautiful this drink is. It’s so perfect for a shower treat! Love it!
that sounds so refreshing! and i love the color!
What a fun virtual Baby Shower! 🙂 Your Blueberry Mint Agua Fresca looks amazing. I love the color and how beautiful you present it. Can’t wait to make a large pitcher on my next gathering.
I am in LOVE with this Blueberry Mint Agua Fresca!! It looks hot pink!! 🙂 This would totally be my signature drink 🙂 Your photos are always so, so amazing. I am stunned by each and every one. Thank you so much for all the hard work you did putting this shower together for Jenny. You’re the best!! 🙂 xoxo
Looks and sounds delish and refreshing too!
That looks so good! Need it to beat the Texas heat.

This has to be the prettiest drink I’ve seen in a long time! I’m sure it’s just as refreshing as it looks too. Thanks so much again for hosting this terrific baby shower!
wow! This looks amazing and so refreshing. Can you say mommy needs some time alone with her fresca!
Now that’s one refreshing drink I could take just about now!
STUNNING Marla! and oh so simple to make!!
I’m throwing a 50th birthday party for the hubby in a few weeks, I may need to add this to my list!
I forgot to ask, can you tell me more about edible flowers?
oh , and thanks for all the work you did coordinating Jenny’s beautiful shower!
Cheryl, I am so glad you could participate in this shower for Jenny! LOVE your cupcakes 🙂 I purchase my edible flowers at Whole Foods. I have never sourced them outdoors or anywhere else. I have seen them online when I have Googled them though. Perhaps you can have them shipped in for your celebration if you cannot find them near home. You can purchase colors that fit your theme too. They really add so much to presentation!
How refreshing, I love the blueberry-mint pairing. Such a pretty drink!
This drink is perfect for a babyshower. Gorgeous color as well. I love the invite, super cute!
Oh how gorgeous! I would love a jar of this aqua fresca right now!
This sounds really super delicious!! Love your presentation and color scheme! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of Jenny’s shower. I really appreciate all your hard work and time!
Thanks Amanda!! So happy you could join us and your rattle cake is just stunning!
Shower perfect! it looks delicious!

Ohhh delish! Can I add vodka??? 😉 I kid I kid!
