How To Make A Blueberry Mojito
Step 1 – Create sugar rim on glass.
Step 2 – Muddle mint and blueberries
Step 3 – Blend blueberries, rum, lime juice, and syrup.
Step 4 – Pour mixture over ice.
More Mint Flavor
To help the mint flavors shine their brightest, slap the mint leaves between your hands. This helps release the natural menthol flavors without making them bitter, which can often happen if muddled too aggressively.
Step 5 – Top with club soda and enjoy!
