Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (about 150 g)
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 2 medium limes (about 3 tablespoons / 45 ml)
- 1/2 cup white rum (120 ml)
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (60 ml)
- 2 cups ice cubes (about 300 g)
- 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional, 120 ml)
Instructions
- Prepare the simple syrup if making your own: Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Let cool (about 10 minutes).
- Juice the limes: Roll limes on counter, cut in half, and juice until you have about 3 tablespoons (45 ml). Remove seeds.
- Add blueberries, mint leaves, lime juice, white rum, simple syrup, and ice cubes to a high-powered blender. Do not add sparkling water yet if using.
- Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slushie-like. Stop and scrape sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup or lime juice. Blend briefly again if adding.
- Pour slushie into tall glasses. Top each glass with 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60-120 ml) chilled sparkling water if desired and gently stir.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few blueberries.
Notes
If blender struggles with ice, crush ice separately or blend in smaller batches. Avoid over-blending mint to prevent bitterness. Serve immediately for best texture. For a mocktail, omit rum and add extra sparkling water or white grape juice. Use frozen blueberries for a thicker slushie but add extra lime juice to maintain brightness.
