Blueberry Mojito
Today I am sharing a Blueberry Mojito recipe in celebration of National Mojito Day which falls on July 11th. I have been obsessed with Mojito recipes this year.
Florida blueberry season has come and gone but for the rest of the country blueberry season is in high gear. This Blueberry Mojito recipe is a perfect way to enjoy a summer cocktail using fresh blueberries. Since National Mojito Day falls on July 11th during the height of blueberry season it is a great way to celebrate Mojito Day and enjoy seasonal blueberries.
How to Make a Blueberry Mojito
A Blueberry Mojito starts out just like a traditional Mojito but with the addition of fresh blueberries.
- 8 large or 12 small mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 of a lime
- 4 teaspoons superfine sugar
- 3 tablespoons light rum
