Here's a refreshing and aromatic recipe for a Blueberry Lavender Mojito that's perfect for a sunny day
Ingredients
- 2 oz rum
- 1 lime for juice and garnish
- 10-12 fresh blueberries plus a few for garnish
- 1 oz lavender syrup
- 8-10 mint leaves plus a sprig for garnish
- Club soda
Instructions
- Muddle the Blueberries and Mint: In a sturdy glass, add the fresh blueberries and mint leaves. Muddle them together to release the juices and flavors of the blueberries and the oils from the mint leaves.
- Add Lime and Lavender Syrup: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the glass. Add the lavender syrup. Stir well to mix the flavors.
- Mix in the Rum: Pour the rum into the glass over the muddled mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
- Top with Club Soda: Pour club soda over the ice to fill the glass. Gently stir to integrate all the components without disturbing the muddled mint and blueberries at the bottom.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a few whole blueberries, a slice of lime, and a sprig of fresh mint on top. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Pro Tips
- Do not over muddle the mint. Press gently to release oils without tearing the leaves.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries. Underripe berries will taste tart and flat.
- Chill your club soda. Cold soda keeps the drink crisp and lively.
