A refreshing, antioxidant-rich twist on the classic Cuban cocktail. This Blueberry Green Tea Mojito swaps soda water for the delicate, grassy notes of blueberry-infused green tea, resulting in a sophisticated and fruit-forward summer sipper..
The Essentials
- 1/2 cup Blueberry Green Iced Tea (Freshly Brewed)
- 1 oz White or Light Rum
- 1 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1–2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (Adjust to your preferred sweetness)
- 8 Fresh Mint Leaves
Garnish: Handful of fresh blueberries and a crown of mint sprigs
Preparation Steps
- In a sturdy highball glass, combine the fresh mint leaves, sugar, and rum. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint, releasing its essential oils without shredding the leaves.
- Chill and Combine: Fill the glass to the brim with crushed or cubed ice. Pour in the fresh lime juice followed by the chilled blueberry green tea.
- The Final Stir: Stir thoroughly from the bottom up to ensure the sugar is incorporated and the mint is distributed.
- Presentation: Top with a cluster of fresh blueberries and an extra sprig of mint for a burst of fragrance with every sip.
