Ingredients
Scale
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 medium lemons (for fresh lemon juice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 2 ounces (60 ml) white rum
- Soda water
- Crushed ice
- Fresh lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- Extra blueberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash mint leaves and blueberries. Slice lemons in half and juice them into a small bowl or measuring cup. Set aside a few whole blueberries and lemon slices for garnish.
- In a sturdy highball glass or cocktail shaker, add about 10 mint leaves and 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the ingredients until the blueberries release their juice and the mint is fragrant.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 1–2 tablespoons of simple syrup, depending on your sweetness preference. Stir gently to combine.
- Add 2 ounces (60 ml) of white rum to the mix, followed by a generous amount of crushed ice to fill the glass or shaker about three-quarters full.
- Pour in soda water until the glass is full, leaving a little room at the top. Stir gently to mix, being careful not to crush the bubbles.
- Add a sprig of mint, a lemon slice, and a few whole blueberries to the top of your drink for a beautiful finish. Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately!
