A light, refreshing, and visually stunning blueberry mojito pitcher perfect for summer parties, combining fresh mint, blueberries, lemon juice, rum, and sparkling water.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 15–20 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup (150 grams) frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white rum
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups (480 ml) sparkling water
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) simple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: lime wedges for garnish
  • Optional: blueberries and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh mint leaves and pat dry. Place 15-20 leaves in the bottom of your pitcher along with 1 cup (150 grams) of frozen blueberries. Using your muddler or wooden spoon, gently press down on the mixture about 15-20 times to release oils and juices without pulverizing.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of white rum to the pitcher. Stir gently to integrate flavors without breaking down the mint too much.
  4. Fill the pitcher about halfway with ice cubes. Then pour in 2 cups (480 ml) of chilled sparkling water. Stir briefly to mix but keep some fizz intact.
  5. Garnish with a few extra blueberries and a couple of mint sprigs on top. Optionally, add lime wedges on the rim. Serve immediately in tall glasses with straws.

Notes

[‘Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness; just bruise the leaves to release oils.’, ‘Use frozen blueberries for better sweetness and color without watering down the drink.’, ‘Add sparkling water last to preserve fizz.’, ‘Adjust simple syrup to taste depending on the tartness of the blueberries.’, ‘Chill the pitcher beforehand to keep the drink cooler longer.’, ‘For a virgin version, omit rum and increase sparkling water or add white grape juice.’, ‘Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 24 hours; add fresh sparkling water before serving to revive fizz.’]
