Blueberry Mojito Pitcher

Ingredients

  • 35 fresh mint leaves, very roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup simple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 3 to 4 limes, quartered, to taste
  • 40 blueberries
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups white rum
  • 3 to 4 cups soda water, to taste

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl or pitcher, combine mint leaves and 1/3 cup simple syrup and muddle well until oils are released and very fragrant.  Add limes and muddle until juiced.  In a small bowl, muddle blueberries separately until mashed.  Add blueberries to large bowl or pitcher, then add white rum.  Stir to combine, and add about 2 cups soda water.  Taste and add more simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste, then add more soda water until the mojito is light and bubbly.  Serve with plenty of ice.
