I love mojitos. Love them. I think mint and lime were made to go together (incidentally, I love the mint limeade at Cafe Rio as well!). And I lo-ove adding fruit, like blueberries, to this yummiest of drink concoctions.
To make one blueberry mojito-
1 lime, juiced
10 mint leaves
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1 shot rum
3/4 cup club soda
DIRECTIONS- Add lime juice, mint leaves, blueberries and sugar to the bottom of a cup. Muddle, mashing the berries and the mint leaves. Add rum and club soda. Mix well and serve.
Here’s the thing, though- blueberry mojitos are best shared. So, do yourself a favor and mix up a whole pitcher of this yumminess at the outset!
To make a pitcher of blueberry mojitos-
6 limes, juiced
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 cup blueberries
6 Tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups rum
2 cups club soda
2 cups limeade
DIRECTIONS- Muddle lime, blueberries, sugar and mint. Add mint mixture, rum, club soda, and limeade to a pitcher full of ice.
Put this pitcher on a picnic table- see how quickly the blueberry mojitos disappear!
