Blueberry Mojito
Blueberry Mojito - Cool off this summertime with a refreshing, minty and bursting with blueberry flavor easy Blueberry Mojito! This easy summer cocktail can be made in just 5 minutes.
Equipment
- a muddler
- a high ball glass
- a blender (optional)
Ingredients
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 4 oz club soda
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp fresh blueberries (6 tbsp)
- extra blueberries, mint leaves and lime wheels for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Using a muddler, muddle blueberries and 1 oz simple syrup in a large highball glass (16oz) to release the juices. Try to get the blueberry pieces small enough to fit through a straw. You can use a blender for this step if preferred. (Muddling is a technique used to gently mash herbs and/or fruit to release the essence or juices.)
- Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent (you’ll know it’s worked when your hands smell minty!). Add the leaves to the glass.
- Add in 2 oz rum and 1 oz lime juice, and stir to combine.
- Fill your glass with ice to about an inch below the rim – this will give you room to stir. Top with 4 oz lemon-lime soda and stir gently. The goal is to lift the blueberries, lime, mint and sweetener from the bottom of the glass and evenly disperse it throughout the drink.
- Garnish with extra blueberries, mint and lime wheels.
