Beth’s Blueberry Mojito

Makes about 4 drinks

Ingredients:

One 6 oz package fresh blueberries (US sourced please!)
2 fresh limes
1 lemon (* Optional. I’m a fan of the unexpected citrus taste here.)
Large bunch of fresh mint leaves
Roughly 5 ounces of white rum
4 tsp agave syrup
4 ounces club soda

Directions:

In a small pitcher muddle lime, lemon (optional) and mint leaves.
Pour in rum, and agave
Pour in club soda
Add ice (not too much if you’re chilling the mojitos before serving – you don’t want to water down.)
Lastly, add fresh blueberries

Drink up!

PS – don’t be scared of the pink-purple hue. It’s a result of the fresh berries soaking.
