A simple, vibrant, and alcohol-free mojito mocktail featuring fresh mint, blueberries, lime juice, and sparkling water. Perfect for cooling down on hot days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 medium lime)
  • 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or slightly thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes (about 1 to 1 ½ cups)
  • Optional: extra blueberries and mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh mint leaves and blueberries under cold water. Pat the mint dry gently to avoid bruising. Juice the lime until you have about 2 tablespoons (30 ml).
  2. In your glass, add the mint leaves and blueberries. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press down and twist about 10-15 times to release oils and juice without shredding the mint.
  3. Pour in the fresh lime juice and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Fill the glass with ice cubes, about 1 to 1 ½ cups (240-360 ml), to chill the drink thoroughly.
  5. Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of sparkling water or club soda over the ice. Stir gently just to mix everything, preserving the bubbles.
  6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a handful of blueberries. Optionally, add a thin slice of lime on the rim.

Notes

Use fresh mint for best flavor and muddle gently to avoid bitterness. Frozen blueberries can be used if slightly thawed. For a smoother drink, strain the muddled mixture before adding ice and sparkling water. Prepare just before serving to keep mint fresh and bubbles lively. Substitute simple syrup with honey, agave, or maple syrup to taste. For a slush version, blend all ingredients with ice.
