Blueberry Mint Madness Mojito Recipes

BLUEBERRY-MINT MOJITOS

Steps:

• Combine the blueberries and sugar in a small container. Lightly smash the blueberries with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon.
• Bring the water to a boil in a small pot and pour over the blueberries and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the mint leaves to the container and place in the fridge to cool down. After 10 minutes, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer and return the strained syrup to the fridge until you begin mixing the cocktail.
• Combine the blueberries, mint, rum and simple syrup in a medium-sized pitcher. Cut 3 of the limes in half and squeeze them into the pitcher. Use a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to lightly muddle the blueberries and mint into the other ingredients. Gently stir to evenly incorporate everything.
• Cut the last lime into 4 wedges. Line 4 large glasses with ice cubes, then pour an even amount of the cocktail mixture into each glass. Float 1/2 cup club soda on top of each glass and gently stir with a long spoon. Garnish each glass with the wedges of lime. Serve chilled.

FRESH BLUEBERRY MOJITOS

Steps:

• Add blueberries, lime juice, sugar and eight mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler to bash (or muddle) the mint into the lime juice and sugar. This releases oils from the mint, breaks up the blueberries and helps the sugar dissolve into the lime juice.
• Add rum, stir well, and then pour into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of room then top with club soda. Serve with extra blueberries, mint leaves, and a lime slice.
