Equipment

Ingredients
 

Blueberry Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Frozen blueberries

Blueberry Mojito

  • 6 Mint leaves, plus additional for garnish
  • 8 Fresh blueberries, plus additional for garnish
  • 2 ounces White rum
  • 2 ounces Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 ounce Blueberry simple syrup
  • 1 cup Ice
  • Fresh lime wedges and wheels, garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup
  • Add the water, sugar, and frozen blueberries to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the mixture into a mixing bowl, pressing the blueberries with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Allow the syrup to cool before using.
  • Make the Blueberry Mojito
  • Add the mint leaves, fresh blueberries, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently crush the blueberries and release the oils from the mint.
  • Add the blueberry simple syrup, white rum, and ice. Secure the shaker and shake well until the drink is chilled.
  • Strain the mojito into a cocktail glass. Garnish with fresh blueberries, lime wedges or wheels, and additional mint, if desired.

Christina's Notes

  • No muddler: Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon if you don't have a cocktail muddler.
  • Shake or stir: Shaking creates a more thoroughly mixed and frothy drink, but stirring is also an option.
  • Change the fruit: Try cherries or blackberries in place of blueberries.
  • Make a pitcher: The source recommends combining 1 cup white rum and 1 cup fresh lime juice with ½ cup of the blueberry mixture in a pitcher. The exact meaning of “blueberry mixture” should be clarified before publication.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh mint, blueberries, and lime juice make a noticeable difference in the finished cocktail.
