Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12-15 Fresh blueberries
- 10 Fresh mint leaves
- 2 oz. Honey simple syrup (or simple syrup)
- Fresh lime juice (juice of one lime)
- Sparkling water - top off
- Ice (use lots of ice) We love Arctic bagged
Instructions
- Muddle the blueberries – Add the blueberries to a cocktail shaker and gently muddle until juicy and fragrant.
- Add the mint leaves – Gently muddle the mint just until aromatic (avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness).
- Add lime juice and simple syrup – Stir to combine and dissolve the syrup into the fruit.
- Fill a glass with ice – Crushed or cubed both work; crushed gives a more traditional mojito feel.
- Strain into the glass – Pour the blueberry-mint mixture over the ice.
- Top with sparkling water – Stir gently to preserve the bubbles.
- Garnish and serve – Finish with fresh mint, blueberries, and a lime wedge.
Notes
- Blueberries: Fresh are best for muddling, but frozen work in a pinch (thaw slightly first).
- Mint: Fresh mint is classic for mojitos—avoid bruising too aggressively to prevent bitterness.
- Honey Simple Syrup: a gently sweet alternative to sugar (use simple syrup if you are not a honey fan)
- Sparkling Water: Plain keeps the flavors crisp, but lime or berry-infused works beautifully too.
Best Serving Tips
-
Serve over plenty of ice in a highball or stemless wine glass.
-

-
For parties, pre-muddle blueberries and mint, then add sparkling water just before serving.
-
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey simple syrup to taste.
