Blueberry Mojito Recipe

I had a friend who went to Cuba, and when he got back, he threw a party and made everyone mojitos to celebrate! It was the first time I'd ever tried one and I loved the fresh mint and lime flavor. It tasted light, bright, and summery.

So check out this blueberry mojito recipe we're sharing. It's still got all the zestiness of a traditional mojito, with a lot more bold fruit. And doesn't the blueberry color look so vibrant? Wouldn't your guests love sipping on one of these on a hot summer night?

Blueberry Mojito Recipe

• Fresh mint
• Limes
• Blueberry Vodka
• Sparkling water or Sprite
• Wild blueberries (I like the frozen wild blueberries)
• Crushed ice
• Sugar

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.

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 with sparkling water or Sprite. The Sprite makes the mojito sweeter (this is how I love it!). If using the sparkling water make sure to add 2-­3 teaspoons of sugar and stir to combine.

The mint and blueberries together are such a refreshing summer cocktail!
