About Blueberry Mojito Cocktail
Blueberry Mojito (pronounced Muh-hee-toh) is a simple and refreshing cocktail drink that will surely steal the limelight at your drinks table.
This fruity take on a classic mojito recipe, a traditional Cuban drink, is made using fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries, mint leaves, lime juice, white rum, and club soda. The best part is that you can also make it virgin (non-alcoholic).
Blueberry Mojito might sound summery, but you can make it around the year using frozen blueberries. Just thaw a bag and use them to make this minty and refreshing cocktail for your backyard parties, get-togethers, and baby shower party, or enjoy it on lazy days by the pool.
One serving of blueberry mojito is about 209 Kcal, not bad to sip on over the weekend, right :).
My recipe sometimes turns out blue and sometimes purple, depending on the color of the blueberries. But whatever the color is, the taste is always delicious.
This refreshing blueberry mojito recipe can be easily doubled, tripled, or made for a crowd in a pitcher.

Ingredients

Blueberries – Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using fresh, then use them directly and if using frozen, thaw them and then use them to make this refreshing drink.
Try to buy the blueberries from a farmers market for the best taste.
Club Soda – Add club soda (soda water) for that fizz. You can replace it with sparkling water as well.
White Rum – Mojitos are traditionally made using white rum, but silver rum, vodka, and tequila also work fine.
Other Ingredients – You will also need granulated white sugar, fresh mint leaves, freshly squeezed lime juice, and ice cubes to make this blueberry cocktail.
You can replace sugar with simple syrup.
Garnish this perfect cocktail with mint sprig, lime slice, or wedges.
Note – This beverage tastes great with blueberries, but you can use other berries like raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. Kiwi fruit is also an excellent replacement for blueberries. Other herbs like fresh basil or rosemary can be used instead of mint.
How To Make Blueberry Mojito
Add ¼ cup of blueberries to an 8 fl oz (1 cup) serving glass.

Muddle them using a cocktail muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until nicely crushed.
Tip – If you don’t like the skin coming in your mouth, you can also puree the berries in a blender. Pass the puree through a mesh strainer and add the puree to the serving glass.

Now add 10-12 fresh mint leaves to the glass and crush some more using the muddler. Muddling the mint leaves will help release their flavor.

Add 2 fl oz (60 ml) white rum, 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar, and 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice to the glass and stir well using a tall spoon or a drink stirrer until the sugar is dissolved.
Note – You can skip adding rum to make a virgin blueberry mojito (non-alcoholic version).

Top the glass with club soda until almost full. Keep some space for ice cubes and garnishing.
Add a few ice cubes. Garnish the drink with extra blueberries, sprigs of mint, and lime slices or lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mojito pitchers are lifesavers if you’re throwing a party. To make the pitcher, scale the recipe as required. Muddle the blueberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice in a pitcher. You can also muddle them in a food processor. If you plan on serving it immediately, stir in the rum, add ice cubes, top with club soda, and serve immediately.
If you plan to serve it later, refrigerate the pitcher until the serving time (max 2 hours). Add the rum, ice cubes, and club soda when ready to serve.
Make The Blueberry Syrup – Combine ½ cup water, ½ cup sugar, and 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries in a small saucepan, and heat them over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely before using it in the cocktail. You can keep the blueberries whole or mash them and strain the syrup through a mesh strainer.
Assemble The Cocktail – Place 10-12 mint leaves at the bottom of an 8 fl oz glass, and muddle them to release their minty flavor. Then, fill the glass with ice.
Add 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 fl oz (60 ml) white rum, and 2 tablespoon blueberry syrup to the glass. Finally, top off the glass with club soda, stir the ingredients together, and enjoy your delicious blueberry mojito!
Traditionally, white rum is used to make Mojito. Use any good quality and reasonably priced white rum to make this drink. I mostly use Bacardi Carta Blanca to make this white rum cocktail, but Appleton or Havana Club Añejo Blanco is also great.
The flavor of freshly squeezed lime juice is unmatched. So unless there is some real reason for not using it, I do not recommend using store-bought bottled lime juice.
If the muddled mint is kept for too long, it turns bitter, making the cocktail bitter too.
