Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
About 10 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
1/2 cup soda water
Ice cubes or crushed ice (as needed)
Instructions
Prepare the base: In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh blueberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice. Gently muddle the mixture to release the flavors of the mint and crush the blueberries slightly.
Fill the serving glass: Fill a tall serving glass with ice cubes or crushed ice to chill the drink.
Transfer the mixture: Pour the muddled blueberry and mint mixture into the glass over the ice.
Add soda water: Top off the glass with soda water and stir gently to combine the flavors without losing the carbonation.
Garnish and serve: Garnish the drink with extra mint leaves, fresh blueberries, and a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Blueberry Mojito!
Notes
To make the drink less sweet, reduce or omit the sugar and optional honey or agave syrup.
Use crushed ice instead of ice cubes for a more authentic mojito texture.
Substitute soda water with sparkling mineral water for different mineral notes.
For an adult version, add white rum to taste.
Fresh mint is key for flavor; avoid using dried mint.
