Equipment

sturdy glass or cocktail shaker
muddler
serving glasses
spoon

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
2 ounces fresh lime juice
1 to 2 ounces simple syrup, to taste
2 cups ice
1 1/2 to 2 cups sparkling water, club soda, Sprite, or Schweppes club soda
lime wheels, for garnish

Instructions

Add the blueberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
Gently muddle until the blueberries burst and the mint smells fresh. Don’t crush the mint too hard, or it may taste bitter.
Divide the muddled mixture between two serving glasses.
Fill each glass with ice.
Top with sparkling water, club soda, Sprite, or Schweppes club soda.
Stir gently from the bottom to mix the blueberry flavor through the drink.
Garnish with extra blueberries, a lime wheel, and a fresh mint sprig.
Serve the Blueberry Mojito Mocktail right away while cold and fizzy.

Notes

For a sweeter Blueberry Mojito Mocktail, use Sprite or add extra simple syrup.

For a lighter, less sweet drink, use plain sparkling water and add a little extra lime juice.

For a pitcher, multiply the recipe by 4. Muddle the blueberries, mint, lime juice, and syrup first, then add ice and bubbles right before serving.

Optional Blueberry Mojito Mocktail Syrup: Simmer 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup water, and 1 cup sugar for 5 minutes. Mash, strain, cool, and use in place of simple syrup for a deeper blueberry flavor.
