Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 35 fresh mint leaves (, very roughly chopped (just barely!))
- 1/3 cup simple syrup (, or a little more to taste (2:1 ratio of sugar:water, see note))
- 3-4 limes (, quartered, depending on how tart you like it)
- 40 blueberries
- 1-1/14 cup white rum
- 3-4 cups soda water (, to taste (about 3-4 cups))
Instruction
- In a large bowl or pitcher, combine mint leaves and 1/3 cup simple syrup and muddle well 'til oils are released and very fragrant. Add limes and muddle 'til juiced. In a small bowl, muddle blueberries separately 'til mashed. Add blueberries to large bowl or pitcher, then add white rum (go for 1 1/4 cups if your crowd can hang! for a daytime event, I'd go with 1 cup). Stir to combine, and add about 2 cups soda water. Taste and add more simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste, and soda water until the mojito is light and bubbly enough. Serve with plenty of ice!
