Ingredients:
8 large or 10-12 small fresh mint leaves
1/4 c. fresh blueberries (scant measure)
1/4 of a lime
4 tsp. superfine granulated sugar
Ice cubes
3 Tbsp. light rum
1/2 c. club soda, chilled
1-2 mint sprigs (optional)
Directions:
In a tall glass combine mint leaves, blueberries, lime and sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, crush ingredients against the side of the glass until mint and blueberries are pulverized and sugar dissolves.
Fill a glass 3/4 full of ice. Add rum; top with club soda. If desired, stir to combine. If desired, garnish with mint sprigs.
Note~ To make in a large pitcher, combine 64 large mint leaves, 2 c. fresh blueberries, 2 limes (cut into quarters) and 2/3 c. superfine granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, mash ingredients together well, making sure most of the sugar is dissolved. Add 1 1/2 c. light rum and 4 c. chilled club soda. Stir to combine. Fill 8 tall glasses with ice. Pour mojito into ice-filled glasses. If desired, garnish with mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
