Servings 2
Author Carrie Robinson {Frugal Foodie Mama}

Ingredients

  • 1 lime quartered
  • 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
  • Handful of mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup light rum
  • Splash or two of ginger ale
  • Simple syrup to taste

Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

Simple Syrup:

  1. Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to one month.

Mojitos:

  1. Squeeze the juice from the lime quarters into a cocktail shaker, then throw in the quarters. Add the mint leaves and the blueberries. Using a pestle or the back of a wooden spoon, muddle the limes, mint, and blueberries together.
  2. Pour in the rum and add a bit of the simple syrup. Place the cap on the cocktail shaker and give it a quick shake or two.
  3. Fill two glasses or pint jars with ice. Pour the strained mixture evenly into both glasses. Now go ahead and dump 2 of the lime quarters and some of the mint leaves into each glass. Top with a splash or two of ginger ale.
  4. Give it a quick stir and taste. If it is not sweet enough for you, add in a little more simple syrup and stir.
  5. Enjoy!
