A vibrant, refreshing twist on the classic mojito—this version combines white rum, blue curacao, fresh mint, lime, and soda for a citrusy, sweet, and colorful cocktail that’s perfect for summer and gatherings.
Place mint leaves and lime wedges in the bottom of a highball glass.
Use a cocktail muddler to gently press the mint and lime until the oils and juice release.
Add white rum, blue curacao, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake lightly to mix the liquids.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then strain the mixture into the glass.
Top with club soda, sparkling water, Sprite, or 7Up.
Stir gently with a bar spoon.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use fresh mint and lime. Muddle gently to avoid bitterness. Use Sprite or 7Up for a sweeter version, club soda for lighter. Serve immediately for peak freshness and color. Works well as a mocktail by omitting the rum!
