Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons blueberry syrup
- 2 ounces white rum
- Club soda
- Ice cubes
- Mint sprig, for garnish
- Fresh blueberries, for garnish
- Lime wedge, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium heat until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Let it cool and strain through a fine mesh strainer.
- Add 6-8 fresh mint leaves and the juice of one lime (about 2 tablespoons) to a tall glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves, releasing their oils.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the cooled blueberry syrup into the glass.
- Stir in 2 ounces of white rum. Mix well to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with club soda, leaving some room at the top. Stir gently.
- Add a sprig of mint, a few fresh blueberries, and a lime wedge for garnish. Serve immediately.
Notes
Taste your mojito before serving and adjust the sweetness or lime juice as needed. Chill your glasses beforehand for a longer-lasting cold drink.
