Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) white rum
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) fresh blueberries
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- ½ lime
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) sugar or simple syrup
Finishing and Garnish Ingredients:

Instructions
- Select a robust cocktail glass and place ripe, plump blueberries inside, complemented by fresh mint leaves, zesty lime wedges, and a touch of sweetener to enhance the drink’s complexity.
- Gently press and twist the ingredients using a muddler or the back of a spoon, releasing the blueberries’ deep purple juices and allowing the mint’s aromatic oils to infuse with the citrus and sugar.
- Introduce crisp white rum into the glass, stirring carefully to marry the muddled components and create a vibrant base for the refreshing mojito.
- Fill the glass with a generous amount of ice, which will chill the mixture and provide a frosty backdrop for the emerging flavors.
- Crown the cocktail with effervescent club soda, creating a light, sparkling texture that lifts the drink’s overall profile.
- Complete the presentation by artfully decorating the mojito with additional whole blueberries, delicate lime slices, and a pristine mint sprig to enhance both visual appeal and aromatic experience.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fresh blueberries for the most vibrant color and sweetest flavor in your mojito.
- Gently muddle ingredients to avoid crushing mint leaves too aggressively, which can release bitter oils and overpower the drink.
- Opt for a light, crisp white rum that complements the fruity blueberry and refreshing mint notes without dominating the cocktail.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like honey or agave nectar for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
