Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and picked over for stems
- 15–20 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (organic cane sugar preferred)
- 1 ½ cups white rum (e.g., Bacardi or Havana Club)
- 2 cups chilled soda water
- Ice cubes, enough to fill a large pitcher
- Lime slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the blueberries and mint leaves thoroughly. Cut limes in half and juice until you have about ½ cup. Set aside lime slices for garnish.
- Place blueberries and mint leaves into the bottom of a large pitcher. Gently muddle with a muddler to release juice and oils without pulverizing.
- Add granulated sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir well until sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour in the white rum and stir gently to combine.
- Fill the pitcher with ice cubes, enough to keep it cold but not dilute the flavor too quickly. Stir gently.
- Just before serving, add chilled soda water to the pitcher and stir lightly to keep the fizz.
- Garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with straws.
Notes
Do not over-muddle to avoid bitterness and puree texture. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Add soda water last to maintain fizz. For non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add extra soda water or lemon-lime soda. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated without soda and ice for up to 24 hours; add soda and ice before serving.
