Steps:
- Combine the blueberries and sugar in a small container. Lightly smash the blueberries with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon.
- Bring the water to a boil in a small pot and pour over the blueberries and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the mint leaves to the container and place in the fridge to cool down. After 10 minutes, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer and return the strained syrup to the fridge until you begin mixing the cocktail.
- Combine the blueberries, mint, rum and simple syrup in a medium-sized pitcher. Cut 3 of the limes in half and squeeze them into the pitcher. Use a cocktail muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to lightly muddle the blueberries and mint into the other ingredients. Gently stir to evenly incorporate everything.
- Cut the last lime into 4 wedges. Line 4 large glasses with ice cubes, then pour an even amount of the cocktail mixture into each glass. Float 1/2 cup club soda on top of each glass and gently stir with a long spoon. Garnish each glass with the wedges of lime. Serve chilled.
BLUEBERRY MOJITOS
Blueberry and lime are two of my favorite flavors, so I added blueberries to my favorite mixed drink! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. To make simple syrup, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Simple syrup will keep in the fridge for a week.-Michele Tungett, Rochester, Illinois

BLUEBERRY LAVENDER MOJITO (MINT OPTIONAL)
I recently had my first lavender mojito at a restaurant, so I went looking for a recipe, and I found something similar. The one I had used a lavender and rosewater infused simple syrup but this blueberry version is also quite good. I like that it says 0-15 mint leaves, since I actually prefer my mojitos w/o mint (more like a Caipirinha). We skipped the seltzer, doubled the lime, and used cubes instead of crushed ice.
