How to Make Blueberry Mojito Mocktail

Okay, so making this is ridiculously easy. You’re basically just mashing, mixing, and pouring. That’s it!

Step 1: Muddle the Blueberries and Mint. Toss 1/4 cup blueberries and about 8 mint leaves in your glass. Gently smash them for 15 seconds until juicy.

Step 2: Add Lime and Sweetener. Pour in 1 ounce of lime juice and 3/4 ounce simple syrup. Give it a quick stir to mix things up.

Step 3: Fill with Ice. Now dump in about 1 cup of ice. Leave a little room at the top for your bubbly soda.

Step 4: Top with Club Soda. Slowly pour 4 to 6 ounces of cold club soda over that ice. Watch it fizz up – so satisfying!

Step 5: Stir and Garnish. Give it one last gentle stir for about 5 seconds. Pop on some blueberries, mint, and a lime wheel. ENJOY!

Tips for the Best Blueberry Mojito Mocktail

Gentle Muddling: Easy does it with the mint! Smash too hard and it gets bitter. Nobody wants that.
Fresh Ingredients: Fresh stuff makes this taste amazing. Wilted mint? Hard pass.
Chill Everything: Cold soda and cold glasses make this SO much more refreshing on hot days.
Quality Ice: Bigger ice cubes are your friend here. They melt slower so your drink stays strong.
Immediate Serving: Make it and drink it right away. The bubbles won’t wait around forever, you know?

Variations and Substitutions

Want to mix things up a bit? Here’s what I’ve tried and loved!

Honey Syrup: Swap the simple syrup for honey syrup. It adds this deeper, richer sweetness that’s incredible.
Frozen Blueberries: No fresh berries? Frozen ones work great and make your drink extra cold instantly.
Sparkling Water: Try flavored sparkling water instead of plain club soda for extra pizzazz.
Agave Nectar: This is my go-to when I want something a bit healthier than regular sugar.
Basil Twist: Sounds weird, but basil instead of mint is AMAZING. Seriously, try it sometime!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yep! Muddle your berries and mint up to 2 hours early. Just keep it in the fridge and add the bubbly stuff right before serving.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen berries are totally fine. They’ll even make your drink colder, which is pretty nice if you ask me.

Is this mocktail kid-friendly?

Yes! No alcohol means everyone can enjoy it. My nieces and nephews go crazy for these at family barbecues.

Can I make blueberry mojito mocktail sugar-free?

Sure can! Just use stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of simple syrup. Still tastes great without the sugar.

What’s the best club soda for this recipe?

Any brand works honestly. I like Schweppes or Topo Chico because they’re super bubbly and taste clean.

How do I keep my mojito from getting too diluted?

Use big ice cubes and drink it right away. The longer it sits, the more watery it gets. Simple as that!
