Notes + Tips for. Blueberry Mojito
Serving Variation: Instead of serving in a glass, consider using a tall pitcher or a punch bowl to make a larger batch of blueberry mojitos for parties or gatherings.
Non-Mint Twist: If you’re not a fan of mint, you can try substituting it with basil leaves or even cilantro for a unique twist on the classic blueberry mojito flavour.
Ingredient Substitution: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the white rum with sparkling water or a flavoured soda for a virgin blueberry mojito.
Muddling Intensity: The intensity of muddling can affect the texture and flavour of the drink. Lightly muddle the blueberries and mint leaves for a subtle infusion or muddle more vigorously for a stronger flavor profile.
