BLUEBERRY MOJITOS
Blueberry and lime are two of my favorite flavors, so I added blueberries to my favorite mixed drink! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. To make simple syrup, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Simple syrup will keep in the fridge for a week.-Michele Tungett, Rochester, Illinois

FRESH BLUEBERRY MOJITOS
Blueberry mojitos are simple to make and only require a few simple, fresh ingredients. If you cannot find fresh, sweet blueberries, thawed frozen berries work as a substitute.

Steps:
- Add blueberries, lime juice, sugar and eight mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler to bash (or muddle) the mint into the lime juice and sugar. This releases oils from the mint, breaks up the blueberries and helps the sugar dissolve into the lime juice.
- Add rum, stir well, and then pour into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of room then top with club soda. Serve with extra blueberries, mint leaves, and a lime slice.

BLUEBERRY LAVENDER MOJITO (MINT OPTIONAL)
I recently had my first lavender mojito at a restaurant, so I went looking for a recipe, and I found something similar. The one I had used a lavender and rosewater infused simple syrup but this blueberry version is also quite good. I like that it says 0-15 mint leaves, since I actually prefer my mojitos w/o mint (more like a Caipirinha). We skipped the seltzer, doubled the lime, and used cubes instead of crushed ice.

Tips:
- For the best mojitos, use fresh blueberries. Frozen or canned blueberries will not yield the same flavor or texture.
- If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. However, fresh mint will give your mojitos a more refreshing flavor.
- Be sure to use a good quality rum. A light rum, such as Bacardi or Havana Club, is a good choice.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to your mojitos. You can also add a splash of fruit juice, such as lime juice or orange juice.
- Mojitos are best served immediately after they are made. However, you can store them in the refrigerator for a few hours if you need to.
Conclusion:
Blueberry mojitos are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink, give blueberry mojitos a try.
