Ingredients
To Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
To Mix the Cocktail
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 shot 2 ounces White Rum or Cachaça
- 2 Tablespoons Blueberry Simple Syrup recipe above
- Club soda or blueberry or lime flavored La Croix
- fresh lime mint and blueberries for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- To prepare the blueberry simple syrup: Place the water, sugar and blueberries on the stove over medium heat in a saucepan. Heat until sugar is dissolved. You can leave the berries whole as I did, or mash them and strain the syrup through a mesh strainer. Let the syrup cool before using in the cocktail.
- To mix the cocktail: Place mint leaves in the bottom of a 12-ounce glass, and muddle them to release the mint oil. Fill the glass with ice.
- Add in the lime juice, rum, and blueberry syrup. Top with club soda, stir and enjoy!
Notes
Easily made into a refreshing mocktail by leaving out the rum.
The amount of simple syrup will make quite a few cocktails.
