    Glass of blueberry mojito garnished with mint, lime and berries.

    As we’re well into summer, I hope you all have been enjoying some “me” time, relaxing, and enjoying the nice weather while sipping on a refreshing drink, like frozen strawberry lemonade.

    While fall is my favourite time of year, I couldn’t stop and feel happy the other day as I was walking around our back yard.

    I was noticing how our flowers and trees have grown substantially since we first planted them.

    The herb garden was bursting with mint, chives, rhubarb and the like.

    There were birds singing in the trees.

    I just felt so happy and couldn’t help but smile.

    It was just a simple moment but made my heart happy.

    Hope you find something that makes you happy too!

    Do you know what also makes me happy? Blueberry mojitos!

    Why We Love This Blueberry Mojito Recipe

    • It’s made with less than 10 ingredients.
    • This fruity mojito comes together in about 5 minutes.
    • It’s super refreshing.
    • The sweetness can be adjusted to taste with less (or more) simple syrup.
    • It’s delicious!

    How To Make This Cocktail

    Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

    Start my muddling some fresh mint leaves with blueberries and lime juice.

    “Muddling” just means breaking up the ingredients so you can release their flavours.

    There’s not special mojito muddler required here, just use what you have on hand — in my case, a wooden spoon.

    After you’ve muddled the ingredients, add ice, rum, club soda and simple syrup. No need to strain anything out. Plus, as a bonus, you get bits of smashed up blueberries to snack on!

    You can garnish with lime, more blueberries and mint (should you like).

    Simple Syrup

    This mojito is sweetened with simple syrup. Simple syrup is basically equal parts white sugar to water (more on how to make it in the recipe card below).

    The benefit of simple syrup over, say, sugar is that it dissolves beautifully in your cocktail.

    In a pinch, though, you can simply add sugar as is and dissolve/stir it right into the cocktail.

    Alternatively, for a sweetener, you can use honey or maple syrup, but they will impart a slight flavour to your mojito.

    Tip: Infuse even more mint into your mojito by throwing a few fresh mint leaves into your simple syrup as you are dissolving your sugar. Strain out the leaves, if you like.

    Best Rum for a Mojito

    For this blueberry mojito recipe, use a white rum instead of amber or dark rum.

    Can I Make a Jug of Mojito?

    Absolutely!

    If serving a crowd, you can easily use the same method using a large jug. Just multiply the ingredients accordingly.

    Ingredients
     

    Blueberry Mojito

    • 8 to 10 fresh mint leaves, plus more to taste for optional garnish
    • ¼ cup fresh blueberries, plus more to taste for optional garnish
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice, from about 1 lime
    • crushed or cubed ice, enough to fill glass about halfway or so
    • 1.5 ounces white rum
    • ½ cup club soda
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons simple syrup, depending on how sweet you like things or to taste (see "Notes" below on how to make)
    • Lime slice, garnish (optional)

    Instructions

    Blueberry Mojito

    • Add mint leaves, blueberries and lime juice to a short cocktail glass.
    • Muddle (break up) mint and blueberries with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon to release the mint flavour from the leaves and juice from the blueberries. You'll have some mashed berries and some pieces.
    • Add ice to glass, filling about halfway or so.
    • Stir in rum, club soda and simple syrup (to taste).
      See "Notes" below on how to make simple syrup. Alternatively, dissolve white sugar in your cocktail or use honey or maple syrup, to taste.
    • Garnish to taste (if desired) with more mint leaves (or a sprig of mint if you have), berries and a lime slice. Serve and, as always, enjoy responsibly!

    Notes

    Simple syrup is equal parts white sugar to water. Heat ½ cup of water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat (don’t boil), stir in ½ cup of white sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool. You’ll end up with a little more than what’s needed for this recipe, but you can properly store cooled leftovers in a covered glass storage jar in the fridge and use within a few days or so.
    Want even more mint flavour? Throw some mint leaves into your simple syrup as you are making it. You can leave those leaves in or strain out after it’s all done.

      It’s good to take time to enjoy the little things! Sometimes sipping on a cocktail like this lets you slow things down and notice your surroundings. This is a great summer cocktail that I’m going to make for my next girlfriend get-together! I can’t wait!!!

      This cocktail is RIGHT up our alley. In fact, Laura’s parents visited last weekend, and we made a bunch of mojitos. Then her mom left us the mint plant, so we planted it in a pot on our porch. That’s a roundabout way of saying that we love mojitos…and we have blueberries right now. This drink is happening today!
