Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Mojito

  • Refreshing summery taste: the combination of blueberries, lime, and mint gives off some serious summer vibes.
  • Loaded with antioxidants from the blueberries.
  • Pretty as a picture: this cocktail will be the belle of the ball at your next party.
  • Super easy to make and in no time at all.

Ingredients and Supplies

  • Fresh mint leaves. One of the signature ingredients in this recipe.
  • Limes. Substitute for lemon if you have to, but lime is preferable.
  • Blueberry Vodka. You can also use regular vodka if you like.
  • Sparkling water or Sprite. Use low-cal Sprite if you’re looking for a light cocktail.
  • Wild blueberries. I like frozen wild blueberries, but fresh or regular frozen berries will do the trick.
  • Crushed ice. Don’t use large ice cubes for this recipe.
  • Sugar. You can also use a simple syrup or agave nectar in your recipe.
  • cocktail muddler.
  • mason jar. You can also use another type of cocktail glass.

How To Make A Blueberry Mojito

Here is the one, two, three to get you your own blueberry mojito cocktail:

Step 1: Make the cocktail mix

Place 4­-6 mint leaves and 3-­4 lime quarters in the bottom of the mason jar glass. Using a cocktail muddler press down on the mint and limes to release the lime juice.

Step 2: Build the drink

Add a scoop of crushed ice.

Depending on the size of your mason jar, add 1-­2 oz of blueberry vodka.

Add 1⁄8 – ­1⁄4 cup crushed wild blueberries.

Add another scoop of crushed ice.

Top the mojito up with a pour of sparkling water or Sprite. The Sprite makes the mojito sweeter (this is how I love it!).

If using the sparkling water, add 2-­3 teaspoons of sugar and stir to combine.
