Step-by-Step Blueberry Mojito Mocktail Recipe

Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 5 minutes
• Servings: 2 glasses

Instructions

Step 1: Muddle the Base In a cocktail shaker or tall glass, gently muddle 1/2 cup fresh blueberries with 8-10 mint leaves. This releases the oils from the mint and breaks down the blueberries to release their juice and color.

Step 2: Add Citrus and Sweetener Squeeze the juice from one large lime (about 2 tablespoons) into the muddled mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of simple syrup and mix gently to combine all the flavors.

Step 3: Build the Drink Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Strain the blueberry-mint mixture evenly between the glasses or leave unstrained for a more rustic presentation with fruit pieces.

Step 4: Top with Fizz Top each glass with 1/2 cup of sparkling water, leaving room for garnish. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve Garnish each glass with fresh mint sprigs, extra blueberries and a lime wheel. Serve immediately with reusable straws for the best experience.

Pro Tips for the Best Blueberry Mocktail

Muddling Technique

• Use gentle pressure when muddling to avoid bitter flavors from over-crushed mint
• Muddle blueberries more aggressively to release maximum color and flavor
• A wooden muddler is better than metal for delicate herbs

Flavor Enhancement Tips

• Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving
• Make blueberry simple syrup by cooking blueberries with equal parts sugar and water
• Add a splash of vanilla extract for depth
• Use different mint varieties like chocolate mint or pineapple mint for unique twists

Creative Variations and Customizations

Flavor Twist Options

Variation	Modification	Flavor Profile
