The Perfect Summer Cocktail

Sitting at the bar of my Restaurant one night, after a few cocktails. I took noticed of the Tea Presses sitting behind the bar not being unused. Of course my thoughts go to thinking how can we come up with a better use of these great looking presses then just serving tea in them. Since Rum was what I was drinking at the time we started with that, then added fresh blueberries and mint right into the press itself, I added some citrus juice and soda water and then pressed the tea press and poured into a chilled glass full of ice and more mint... and a perfect summer cocktail was invented. For those of that want to try this at home:

Ingredients
2 Tb blueberries
6 broken fresh leaves of mint
4 oz citrus juices
2 oz soda water
2 oz Rum or Vodka
Place all ingredients into tea press. Press down at time of serving. Pour over a chilled glass filled with ice and fresh mint leaves.
