Ingredients
- 15-20 blueberries plus more for garnish
- 8-10 mint leaves plus more for garnish
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 2 ounces light rum
- 2 ounces club soda
- lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- In a collins glass or highball glass, add the blueberries, mint leaves and simple syrup.
- Muddle together to release the oils of the mint leaves and the juices of the berries. (See note for an alternate method.)
- Top with ice, filling the glass all the way.
- Add the lime juice and rum. Top with club soda.
- Garnish with a straw, lime wedge and a mint sprig.
Notes
When muddled, the berries do leave behind some pulp and seeds. If you prefer a clearer drink without texture, do this instead: Muddle the berries, mint and syrup in a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. Top with lime juice and rum. Then use a strainer to pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish.
If you don't have a muddler, you can use the blunt handle of a wooden spoon.
