So, I thought I’d add a spin to the classic mojito today. This recipe is so easy and so fresh.
You can use fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries for this, so while it may look like a summer drink, this is totally doable all year round. (As long as you can find mint, that is).
To make this blueberry mojito, bash blueberries, mint and some sugar together then add white rum and a little club soda. Simple and fun!
MAKES 4 cocktails
Start to finish: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 32 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup white rum
- 4 cups ice
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 4 lime slices for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- Add blueberries, lime juice, sugar and eight mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler to bash (or muddle) the mint into the lime juice and sugar. This releases oils from the mint, breaks up the blueberries and helps the sugar dissolve into the lime juice.
- Add rum, stir well then pour into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of room then top with club soda. Garnish with extra blueberries, mint leaves and a lime slice.
