Ingredients

5 fresh mint leaves
⅓ cup blueberries
½ medium lime (cut into 3 wedges) or 1 fluid ounce lime juice
2 tablespoons white sugar or ½ ounce simple syrup
2 fluid ounces white rum
soda, as needed to top up
Ice, crushed

Measurement Conversions: 1 fl oz = 1 shot = 30ml

How To Make

Place mint, blueberries, lime wedges and white sugar directly into a glass. If substituting lime wedges and white sugar with lime juice and simple syrup, add lime juice and sugar later together with the rum.
Use a muddler to crush the lime and blueberries and to release the mint oils.
Add rum. If substituting with lime juice and simple syrup, also add these ingredients now.
Add a handful of ice and stir. Top up with soda water and garnish with fresh mint leaves and some blueberries.

Notes

Rum - this classic calls for a white rum rather than a spiced rum
Mint - use fresh mint leaves - it’s what makes a mojito a mojito!
Lime - use freshly squeezed lime for best flavor
Sugar - many people use simple syrup because it mixes into the drink more easily, but the classic mojito uses granulated sugar. A little bit of undissolved sugar is okay as it adds to the texture to make it an authentic classic mojito. If you prefer, you can use caster sugar as that will dissolve more easily.
