Okay, so I'm a little in the mojito mood these days - clearly! BUT IT'S SOOOOO GOOD! And refreshing as all get out, which we all can use after a long day at work or on a hot day hanging out with friends. This one is All-American, like blueberry pie, but the lime provides a tropical flare and the mint invigorates like an ocean breeze. Oh yes, it's like I'm on vaca right. now.
Ingredients
For the simple syrup:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cold water
½ cup fresh blueberries (frozen will work for this part, too)
Blueberry Mojito for Two:
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
12 ounces club soda
¼ cup simple syrup
4 drops Lime Vitality essential oil
3 drops Spearmint Vitality essential oil
Ice cubes
1 lime, cut into wheels or wedges (totally up to you)
Blueberries, for garnish
Directions
For Simple Syrup: Muddle blueberries (you can use the back of a wooden spoon) so the blueberries are broken. Bring sugar, blueberries, and water to a boil in a saucepan; stir until sugar dissolves + you have a pretty color to the syrup. Strain this through a fine strainer or leave as-is. Keep any unused syrup in a sealed container in the fridge until you're ready to use.
For the Mojito: Add lime juice, simple syrup, and essential oils together in a small dish and divide into each glass. Fill each glass half way with ice and add the club soda, giving each glass a quick stir. Garnish with a handful of fresh blueberries, lime wheel, and a sprig of mint.
While this recipe is for 2 servings, you can use the same ratio to make pitchers (depending on how big your pitcher is, double or quadruple the recipe). Due to the essential oils used in this recipe, please be sure to use glass and avoid all use of plastics.
