Servings: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries, thawed
- Juice of 2 limes (2 oz or ~¼ cup)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
- 20 fresh mint leaves (~ ⅓ cup)
- Crushed ice
- 4–6 ounces white rum*
- Lime flavored sparkling water (may also use blueberry flavor or unflavored)
Instructions
- To a high-speed blender or mini chopper, add the thawed wild blueberries and their juice. Puree until you achieve a pureed juice consistency.
- Add the lime juice and honey to the blueberry puree and blend again. You’ll have about ¾ cup of puree.
- Divide the mint leaves among 4 tall skinny glasses. With the end of a wooden spoon or a muddler, muddle the mint. Smash the mint leaves until all leaves are darker in color and slightly wilted.
- Divide the blueberry puree among the 4 glasses, adding about 3 tablespoons to each. Next, add crushed ice to each glass until each glass is roughly ⅔ full.
- Next, add 1 to 1 ½ ounces rum to each glass. Finally, top each glass off with sparkling water. Use a long spoon or stir stick to stir each cocktail until well mixed. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, additional frozen wild blueberries, and/or a lime slice. Enjoy!
Notes
* For a mocktail, prepare the drinks as directed above in steps 1-4. In place of the rum, use ginger-flavored kombucha (add roughly 1 ½ to 2 ounces kombucha to each glass). Finish off each glass with lime flavored sparkling water as directed above.
