Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 2 lime wedges
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 oz white rum
- Ice cubes
- Club soda
- Extra blueberries and mint for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Ingredients: In a sturdy glass, gently muddle the fresh blueberries, mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar together. This releases the flavors and juices that form the base of the cocktail.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and provide a refreshing temperature.
- Pour Rum: Pour 2 ounces of white rum over the muddled fruit and ice to infuse the cocktail with its signature spirit.
- Top with Club Soda: Add club soda to the glass to top off the drink, giving it a light, bubbly texture.
- Stir Gently: Use a bar spoon or straw to gently stir the cocktail, combining all the ingredients without crushing the mint leaves.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with extra fresh blueberries, a sprig of mint, and a lime wedge on the rim for a visually appealing presentation and enhanced aroma.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic variation, omit the rum and replace it with extra sparkling water.
- Using frozen blueberries instead of fresh can help keep the cocktail chilled longer without diluting the flavor.
