About This Recipe
Blueberry Mojito is a simple yet refreshing drink that will surely steal the limelight at your drinks table.
You can make so many variations of Mojito, that usually have ingredients such as white rum, club soda, sugar, lime juice, and mint. And to give it a twist and make it extra special, I have added some muddled blueberries.
As fresh Blueberries hit the market in Summers, I just grab my hands on them and make my favorite recipes like Blueberry Streusel Muffins and Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie and also this refreshing Blueberry Mojito, which also gives instant relief from the scorching heat outside.
I like to add some extra mint, as it makes this drink more flavourful and adds a unique taste to the same. The combination of blueberry and mint leaves is a bomb, and it will always amaze you with how good it tastes every time you make it.
So, next time you want to sip on a refreshing drink while enjoying a movie, want to make it for your parties or just enjoy it on a lazy day by the pool, do not forget to try this Blueberry Mojito, which will surely be your summer favorite.
Oh, and one glass of this refreshing Mojito will have about 209 Kcal, not bad to sip on a glass over the weekend, right 🙂
If not fresh blueberries, you can even use frozen ones. This way you can enjoy this drink at any time of the year.

Ingredients
This refreshing drink demands for a few ingredients such as,
Blueberries – Blueberries, are such a refreshing berry that will even give you a sudden relief from the heat outside.
But finding blueberries is a little difficult. Either you don’t find them or they are very expensive in the stores.
In such cases, I substitute them with other berries such as strawberries or raspberries or even kiwi. Do try this Mojito with Kiwi, I just love the flavor it brings to the drink.
You can even use frozen blueberries, as they are easily available and comparatively cheaper than the fresh ones.
Club Soda – Add soda for that fizz in your refreshing drink. You can even add sparkling water, instead of club soda to make this Mojito.
White Rum – I have added white rum in this Mojito because it tastes the best. When it comes to alcohol, even vodka or Tequila tastes great in this drink instead of white rum!
Other Ingredients – Other than these, you will need sugar, mint leaves, lemon juice, and ice cubes.
Other herbs like basil and rosemary also pairs well with blueberry. So can try these too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the refreshing cocktails, especially Summer Cocktails, which use fresh fruits and herbs include a step called muddle in the process of preparing the cocktail.
It simply means pressing the herbs and fruits with a muddler, so that they release their juices and gets mixed with the alcohol and soda better.
To muddle blueberries wash them well and add it in a bowl or glass you are serving your drink in.
Use a muddler or back of a wooden spoon to mash the blueberries, so that the flavor of blueberries can mix up well with the other ingredients.
Mojito pitchers are the lifesavers to make if you’re throwing a summer party.
All you have to do is, keep the blueberry syrup ready.
The time you are serving it, just add the alcohol, soda, ice cubes, stir it up and your Blueberry Mojito for a crowd is ready.
White Rum tastes the best in Mojitos, as it gives a perfect color and flavor to the drink.
You can even add vodka instead of white rum to make this drink.
Follow the same recipe, just substitute white rum with vodka, and you mojito is ready!
I always recommend adding freshly squeezed lemon juice, as it brings out flavour the most. But if fresh lemons are not available, you can use store bought lemon juice too.
Storage Suggestions
This drink tastes best when fresh, but you can make the Blueberry Syrup in advance and store it in the fridge for days. You just have to mix soda, alcohol, ice cubes while making the cocktail.
