Blueberry Mojitos

Juicy blueberries, muddled mint, fresh squeezed lime juice, a dash of sugar, club soda, and rum make this fabulous warm weather drink

Hi there readers. No I haven't forgotten about you. I've been working on a few projects that I'm really excited about that involve major kitchen time.

And honestly, after cooking 4+ things each day for the past 5 days, I just didn't have it in me to write a post. I beg your pardon.

But I have Blueberry Mojitos today, so that should make up for it! I just know it will 😉

I am a berry freak. I love them. Love love love them!

And apparently, I also like to make drinks.

I'm not sure why, but making drinks is really fun to me. Whether or not there is alcohol in there doesn't matter, but I just love making drinks.

I made these Blueberry Mojitos yesterday and then drank them with my friend as we strolled around Audubon Park. It. was. glorious.

Juicy blueberries, muddled mint, fresh squeezed lime juice, a dash of sugar, club soda, and rum {optional} make this fabulous drink.

I had a sweet batch of blueberries since it is blueberry season {wooohhoooooo!!!!}, and they barely needed sugar. Most recipes call for at least 2 teaspoons of added sugar but I found that completely unnecessary. I used less than 1/2 teaspoon and found it to be perfect {however, I calculated the nutrition facts with 1/2 teaspoon just for good measure}

Frozen blueberries that have been thawed would be a good substitute in a pinch, but you might have to add more sugar.

I made two versions: one with rum and one without. Both were delish!

I used La Croix in my version without rum to give it a little extra flavor but it's refreshingly tasty with just club soda. I just happened to have some La Croix and thought it would taste really good {I was right, obviously}

The recipe makes one serving since you make these individually. I think I might have to work on a recipe for a big batch because they are that good, and you're going to want more than just one.

It takes about 2 or 3 minutes to make each one. Not a lot of time but a little more time consuming than your average mixed drink. It's totally worth the extra 120 to 180 seconds though! Especially when you can enjoy it on a wonderful, spring evening just like my friend and I did yesterday
