From the Archives: Blueberry Mojitos

I'm currently unavailable to post, so I thought we'd revisit a few posts of mine from the Elle Sees archives. Enjoy!
PS--ENTER THE JEWELRY GIVEAWAY!
Earlier I posted my recipe for BBQ and thought I'd throw in a drink perfect for this weekend and upcoming summer. I'm not a regular Mojito fan, but this twist with the fruit makes it delicious! It's festive (see the American flag colors?), fruity, and refreshing. And easy to make! Enjoy!

Blueberry Mojito 

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz light rum
- 1/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 8 mint leaves
- 8 fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp sugar
- Club soda
Garnish: lime slice and mint sprig

Muddle mint leaves with sugar in a mixing glass. Add light rum, lime juice to shake with ice. Pour into a tall glass. Drop blueberries and club soda. Garnish with lime slice and mint sprig. 


Virgin: Leave out the rum and mix with Sprite/7Up/Sierra Mist to make it non-alc.

    I love mojitos - they are one of my fave cocktails because they aren't too sweet - would be delicious with blueberries!

    Mojitos tend to frequent any backyard event held by various members of my family...these look delicious. Think I'll extend them an invitation to my next barbeque;)
