    Blueberry Mojitos for Summer.

    Blueberry mojitos are a fun summer twist on a refreshing rum cocktail. This traditional Cuban drink gets a decidedly un-authentic fruity take using one of summer's best berries.

    • Blueberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe

    These fresh blueberry mojitos are delicious and full of summer flavors, like bright mint, sweet blueberries, and tart lime, making this refreshing drink a great way to beat the summer heat.

    I love growing mint in my herb garden, and mojitos are a delicious way to use fresh mint. Grab some fresh fruit at the farmers market and you'll be all set to make this twist on a classic mojito recipe.

    This delicious blueberry mojito recipe skips the cocktail shaker, opting to combine fresh lime juice and fresh mint leaves directly in a tall glass like a highball glass or Collins glass for one of the easiest summer cocktails.

    They're also low in alcohol, with white rum being the only liquor included in the cocktail. That makes a refreshing blueberry mojito an ideal white rum cocktail to sip when you're wanting an afternoon drink that isn't super strong. The sprigs of mint give the drink a summery taste and smell with each sip.

    Cocktail Tip: To keep yourself enjoying mojitos all summer, make batches of cocktail syrups - blueberry for this recipe! - ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Love a Traditional mojitos? Make some simple syrup to keep on hand.

    What's in a Blueberry Mojito

    Ingredients for Blueberry Mojitos
    • White rum - Choose your favorite white rum. Not sure what to use? Bacardi is easy to find and will taste great in your mojitos.
    • Blueberry simple syrup - You can buy this at the store or better yet make it at home in 10 minutes with 3 ingredients!
    • Sugar cubes OR white sugar - You just need a little bit of granulated sugar for muddling so use whichever you have on hand.
    • Mint leaves - Fresh mint is a key ingredient in mojitos. There's no substitute for it.
    • Fresh limes - Fresh citrus makes a BIG difference, especially in mojitos. You'll need about a quarter of a fresh lime per cocktail.
    • Fresh blueberries - You need fresh berries here, not frozen blueberries.
    • Sparkling water or club soda - Either one will be delicious, just pick your favorite fizzy water.

    How to Make a Blueberry Mojito (Step by Step)

    Place mint, blueberries, and a lime slice in a glass. Top with the sugar. 

    A hand placing a muddler into a glass with blueberries, fresh mint, lime slices and a sugar cube in the bottom.

    Using a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, gently crush everything together in the bottom of the glass mashing until the sugar starts to dissolve into the fruit and the mint oils have been released.

    Recipe Tips

    • Make the syrup several hours in advance so it has time to chill. Warm or even room temperature cocktail syrup will cause your ice to melt faster, watering down your drink. Make your syrup 4 to 24 hours ahead of time. I often make mine first thing in the morning so it's ready for happy hour.
    • You can make your syrup with frozen blueberries, but if you can't get fresh berries for muddling in the drink, just leave them out.
    • Use fresh lime juice for this drink, not bottled. It makes a difference!

    Making Homemade Blueberry Syrup

    Homemade blueberry syrup is easier to make than you may think and only takes 3 ingredients! Get the recipe, instructions, and syrup-making tips over on my Blueberry Simple Syrup page.
