Blueberry Mojito
2013-08-11
Ingredients
- ½ Lime cut into 4 wedges
- 8 to 10 Mint leaves
- ¼ cup Blueberries
- 2 oz Blueberry Rum
- ¾ oz Lemon Rum
- 1 oz Simple Syrup
- 1¾ oz Club Soda
- 1 dash Mint Bitters
- In the serving glass, muddle the blueberries in the rums. Add the lime wedges and mint leaves and gently muddle. Add the simple syrup and top off with the club soda, ice and mint bitters. Give a little stir and enjoy.
A beautiful summertime drink! Muddling the blueberries reminds me of Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She turns into a giant blueberry after eating a special piece of gum and must be juiced immediately otherwise she will explode. “You’re turning violet, Violet!”

I’ve got a tasty cocktail for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you’ll make it and see!”
