This fresh Blueberry Mojito recipe makes the best of summer’s berry crop. Hurry and mix one (or three) before blueberry season is over!

Have I got a treat for you today!  

This lively spin on the classic mojito is chock full of plump blueberries and fresh mint that are California ripe and ready at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. With just a quick muddling of the fresh ingredients, you can achieve a distinct and delicious adult beverage for your next outdoor get together.

Heavenly, plump blueberries are easy to find. They often go undiscovered in the libation category, but with this new recipe will have you wishing we had a longer growing season.

Let’s make a fresh Blueberry Mojito!

I even got a little fancy and speared a few blueberries onto a bamboo skewer to nibble on as I sipped.

You can use a muddler to crush the fresh ingredients directly in the glass, or the end of a wooden spoon works just as well.

And of course, use firm, ripe California blueberries!

Add ice, white rum and club soda, and your Blueberry Mojito is ready to drink!

Here’s to a beautiful summer!
