What’s In A Blueberry Mojito?

A standard mojito it made by muddling together fresh limes and mint, adding in light rum and sugar, and topping with club soda. For a blueberry mojito, fresh blueberries are muddled in during the beginning stage.

Because the blueberries bring a natural sweetness to the cocktail, less sugar or simple syrup in needed.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd

This blueberry mojito recipe works just as well for a crowd.

Instead of making the cocktails in tall glasses, use a muddler (or a wooden spoon) to make everything but the ice and club soda in a measuring cup. Once it is all stirred together, pour it into a pitcher and serve it next to chilled club soda and ice.

By letting the guests pour it into glasses themselves, the mojitos don’t get watered down by the ice and the club soda doesn’t go flat.

• Get The Most Juice From Your Limes.  Citrus is out of season in the summer, so you can run into the issue of under ripe or hard limes. Read up on how to choose the best limes so you can get the most juice (and save the most money).

Fresh Blueberry Mojito Recipe

Traditionally, mojitos are made with light rum. If you want to make this recipe with vodka instead, you can exchange the alcohol in exact measurements. However, rum tends to be a bit sweeter than vodka, so you may need a little bit extra simple syrup.

Keep in mind that both light and white rums are the same thing. The name of it just varies by distiller, so as long as it isn’t dark or spiced, it will work for making mojitos.
