Directions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves, blueberries and simple syrup together until they release their flavours and aromas.
Add half of the lime juice in a highball glass. Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes.
Strain half of the muddled simple syrup, blueberries and mint leaves into the glass. Pour half of the white rum over. Top off the glass with sparkling water.
If desired, add a drop of blue food colouring to achieve this beautiful blue colour.
Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few additional blueberries.
Repeat the same steps to make the second glass of blueberry mojito with the remaining ingredients.
Serve and enjoy!
