Equipment

• Cocktail shaker

• Strainer
• Tall glass
• Bar spoon
• Fine-mesh strainer

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 15-20 fresh blueberries
• 8-10 fresh mint leaves
• Club soda
• Ice cubes
• Extra blueberries and mint for garnish

Instructions

• Place blueberries and mint leaves in the cocktail shaker.
• Muddle gently until blueberries release their juice and mint becomes fragrant.
• Add rum, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
• Fill shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
• Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a tall glass filled with ice.
• Top with club soda and stir gently with a bar spoon.

Notes

Store fresh blueberries in the fridge to keep them firm for muddling.

Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a pan. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool before using.

For a mocktail version, replace rum with coconut water or white grape juice.

Frozen blueberries work too – let them thaw slightly before muddling.

The drink tastes best when served right away while the mint is fresh and the club soda is fizzy.

Tasting Notes

The Blueberry Mojito Twist brings a bright, sweet-tart balance of fresh mint and ripe blueberries. Each sip starts with the crisp bite of lime and rum.

The mint adds a cool, refreshing element that mingles with the natural sweetness of muddled blueberries. The combination creates a purple-blue hue that catches the eye.

White rum provides a clean base that lets the fruit and herb flavors shine. The drink finishes smooth with a gentle sweetness that doesn’t overpower.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Fresh blueberry
• Garden mint
• Zesty lime
• Clean rum
• Light sugar

The carbonation from club soda adds a pleasant fizz and lightens the texture. Ice helps blend the flavors while keeping the drink perfectly chilled.

This cocktail tastes best when served immediately while the bubbles are active and the mint is fresh. The taste stays balanced from first sip to last, without becoming too sweet or too tart.

Substitute

You can make this drink with or without alcohol. To make a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with coconut water or sprite.

Switch regular white rum with spiced rum or dark rum for a different flavor. Each type adds its own taste to the drink.

Other mint substitutes include:

• Basil leaves
• Lemon balm
• Thai basil

Don’t have fresh blueberries? Use frozen ones instead. You can also use blackberries or raspberries.

To make a less sweet version, skip the simple syrup. Club soda can replace sparkling water, though it might taste slightly different.

Make it stronger by adding an extra 0.5 oz of rum. For a weaker drink, add more sparkling water or lime juice.

Sugar alternatives:

• Honey
• Agave nectar
• Stevia
• Monk fruit sweetener

A splash of blueberry juice works if fresh or frozen berries aren’t available. Just reduce the simple syrup to keep the sweetness balanced.
