I love making drinks that are simple but still refreshing. My Blueberry Mojito Cocktail recipe gives a classic mojito a sweet twist by adding fresh blueberries.

The mix of mint, lime, and juicy berries makes for a cool drink you can enjoy any time. It’s honestly one of those recipes that’s easy to follow and doesn’t need any fancy tools.

You only need a handful of ingredients to whip up a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes. I really like how the blueberries add a pop of color and just the right touch of sweetness.

If you’re bored of plain lemonade or soda, this drink is a great option. It’s also a nice excuse to use up fresh berries and share with friends.

Blueberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe

I make this cocktail by mixing fresh blueberries, mint, lime, and rum with simple syrup and club soda. The process is easy, and the drink ends up looking super colorful with deep purple berries and bright green mint.

Serving Size

Equipment

I grab a sturdy glass for mixing and serving.

A muddler is what I use to press the blueberries and mint to get their juices and oils out.
I always use a jigger for measuring the rum and simple syrup.
A long bar spoon helps blend everything together without splashing everywhere.

I also use a citrus juicer for squeezing fresh lime juice—nobody wants seeds in their drink.
For serving, I go for a tall glass, or a highball glass, to leave space for ice and soda.
Sometimes I keep a small strainer handy if I want a smoother cocktail with fewer bits floating around.

And, of course, I need a handful of ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

Ingredients

I like to gather everything before I start so it goes smoothly. For one drink, here’s what I use:

Fresh blueberries 8-10 berries
Fresh mint leaves 8 leaves

White rum 2 ounces
Simple syrup 1 ounce
Lime juice 1 ounce fresh

Club soda To top about 2-4 oz
Ice cubes Enough to fill glass

Sometimes I toss in extra blueberries and mint for garnish at the end. If I’m in the mood for more sweetness or tartness,

Instructions

First, I drop the blueberries, mint leaves, and lime juice at the bottom of my glass. With the muddler, I press them together until the berries burst and the mint smells fresh.

Next, I add the simple syrup and white rum. I stir the mix with a bar spoon until it’s all combined.
I fill the glass with ice cubes, right up to the top. Then I pour club soda over everything until the glass is full.
A gentle stir brings it all together. For a little extra flair, I add a few more blueberries and a sprig of mint on top.

And that’s it—it’s ready to serve, cold and fizzy, no waiting needed.

Notes

I always go for fresh limes and ripe blueberries for the best flavor and color. If I want it sweeter, I just add more simple syrup.

For a tarter drink, I use less syrup or more lime juice. If you want a non-alcoholic version, just skip the rum and add more club soda for a blueberry mojito mocktail.

When muddling mint, I try not to crush the leaves too hard—otherwise, it can get bitter. If I don’t have a muddler, I just use the back of a spoon. Serving with a straw is nice, too, since you can mix the flavors as you sip.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Blueberry Mojito, the first thing that hits me is the fresh, light aroma from the mint leaves. The smell is clean and bright—kind of wakes you up.

The taste starts with a gentle sweetness from the blueberries. They give a mild fruitiness that doesn’t overpower anything.

Right after, I get the tartness from the lime juice. It gives the cocktail a crisp, sharp edge that keeps things interesting.

Main Flavors I Notice:

Fresh blueberries
Mint
Lime

White rum
Sugar

The white rum kind of hangs out in the background. It’s smooth, gives a bit of warmth, but doesn’t shout for attention.

I also get a cool, tingly feeling from the mint at the end of each sip. The flavors stick together, and nothing really takes over.

Honestly, the Blueberry Mojito is just a calming, easygoing drink—one you can enjoy without thinking too much about it.

Substitute

Sometimes, I just don’t have all the ingredients for a Blueberry Mojito. No big deal—there are a bunch of easy swaps that work pretty well if I need them.

Here are some simple substitutes I’ve tried when I’m in a pinch:

Mint: I’ll use basil or even cilantro if I run out of mint. The flavor changes a bit, sure, but it still feels fresh and lively.
Blueberries: Frozen blueberries totally work if I’m out of fresh. Strawberries or raspberries step in nicely too, honestly.

Lime juice: Lemon juice does the trick when I’m out of limes. It’s not exactly the same, but close enough for me.
White rum: Vodka or gin can stand in for rum if that’s what’s left in the cabinet. Each brings its own vibe.
Club soda: Sparkling water or even lemon-lime soda can fill in for club soda. Sometimes I just use whatever’s on hand.

If I’m missing something, these swaps usually save the day. I try not to change too many things at once though—otherwise, who knows what I’ll end up with?

Sometimes I want a non-alcoholic version. In that case, I just skip the rum and add extra club soda or maybe a splash of juice. That way, everyone gets in on the fun.
