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 blueberry to make this uber-fresh Mojito.
I like to add some extra mint, as it makes this drink more refreshing. 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.

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 flavour 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 taste the best. When it comes to alcohol, even vodka 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.
