Instructions

Notes

Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can be used in a pinch. Thaw them first before muddling.
The drink can be made non-alcoholic by replacing rum with extra club soda.
Store simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Gentle muddling prevents the mint from becoming bitter.

Tasting Notes

This fresh cocktail blends sweet and minty flavors perfectly. The blueberries add natural sweetness while fresh mint leaves bring a cooling sensation.

The drink starts with bright citrus notes from fresh lime juice. The rum provides a smooth, clean base that carries the other flavors without overpowering them.

First Sip:

  • Sweet blueberry
  • Fresh mint coolness
  • Crisp lime tang

Mid-Palate:

  • Light rum warmth
  • Balanced sweetness
  • Mint intensity builds

Finish:

  • Clean and refreshing
  • Gentle mint lingers
  • Subtle berry sweetness

The carbonation from club soda adds a pleasant fizz that lifts the flavors. Each sip feels light and energizing.

The drink’s purple-blue color comes from muddled blueberries. Crushed ice keeps it cold while diluting the strength just enough.

A garnish of fresh mint sprigs and whole blueberries adds visual appeal. Their aromas enhance the drinking experience.

The cocktail tastes best when served very cold. Its flavors stay balanced as the ice melts slowly.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

A few simple swaps can change this mojito when needed.

Fresh lime works well instead of lemon juice. Simple syrup makes a good replacement for agave nectar.

Blackberries or raspberries create a tasty drink in place of blueberries.

Frozen berries work fine too. Just thaw them first.

No fresh mint? Spearmint extract provides similar flavor. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more if needed. Basil leaves make another great option.

Non-alcoholic version:

For a different fizz, swap club soda with:

Pro tip: Muddle the berries and mint extra well when using substitutes. This helps release more flavor into the drink.
