Print Recipe

A sparkling blueberry mojito with a subtle caramel crunch from a coconut sugar rim, combining sweet, tart, and minty flavors for a refreshing cocktail perfect for summer parties or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries per drink
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves per drink
  • 1 oz (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 oz (60 ml) white rum
  • 4 oz (120 ml) sparkling water
  • Coconut sugar for rimming
  • 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes (crushed or cubed)

Instructions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a highball glass. Pour coconut sugar onto a small plate and dip the rim into the sugar, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
  2. In a sturdy mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 1/4 cup fresh blueberries and 10-12 fresh mint leaves. Gently muddle for about 20 seconds until blueberries release juice and mint aroma is noticeable. Avoid over-muddling.
  3. Add 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice and 2 oz white rum to the muddled mixture. If desired, add 1 teaspoon simple syrup or granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Fill the prepared glass about 3/4 full with crushed or cubed ice.
  5. Strain the muddled mixture over the ice in the glass, leaving solids behind.
  6. Top with 4 oz sparkling water and stir gently to combine without flattening bubbles.
  7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a few whole blueberries, and a thin lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh mint leaves and blueberries for best flavor. Avoid over-muddling mint to prevent bitterness. Chill glasses ahead to keep the drink crisp longer. If blueberries are not sweet, add extra simple syrup. Coconut sugar rim adds subtle caramel crunch; if unavailable, granulated sugar can be substituted but flavor will differ. For non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add extra lime juice or blueberry syrup.
