    Meet frozen blueberry mojitos. You may have just found your new favorite summer drink. The traditional Cuban drink—the mojito—is loved for a reason.

    Upon the first sip, your tastebuds are flooded with flavors of fresh mint leaves, tangy lime, clear rum, and bubbly soda water.

    This rum cocktail recipe takes those elements and creates a frosty, refreshing drink.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    Here are a few reasons why to make this frozen blueberry version!

    • This easy blueberry cocktail is made right in the blender.
    • It is a cool and refreshing cocktail twist on the classic mojito recipe. Plus, it's a gorgeous color!
    • No club soda is needed!

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Blueberries, lime, white rum, organic cane sugar, and fresh mint laid out on a marble surface.

    Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.

    Frozen blueberries - Instead of using fresh blueberries, the frozen variety helps up the fruit slushy factor. If needed, fresh berries can be substituted. You may opt for adding more ice.

    Fresh mint - Tear the leaves off the mint sprig before using. Want to save a step and always have mint on hand? Check out this how-to freeze mint for cocktails tutorial.

    White rum - A clear rum of choice will work here. Using dark rum would alter the flavor profile.

    Lime juice - Tart limes pair well with sweet blueberries and simple syrup.

    Simple syrup - Organic cane sugar is used here to make the syrup.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Before you start:  Make your simple syrup first. This can be done ahead of time.

    A saucepan with organic cane sugar and water.
    A saucepan with dissolved sugar and water.

    Step 1: Over low heat, add sugar and water to a small saucepan, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved.

    Step: 2: Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

    Step 3: In a blender, add blueberries, mint leaves, simple syrup, lime juice, white rum, and ice.

    Step 4: Blend until smooth. Pour into two rocks or collins glasses and garnish with mint or a lime slice if desired.

    Tips

    • Don't have a blender? A food processor will work too. You may need to stop once or twice to wipe down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
    • Make virgin blueberry mojito mocktails! Also known as a "nojito," just omit the rum.
    • Frozen blueberry mojitos for a crowd? This recipe is easily doubled and that blender jar becomes a pitcher of mojitos.

    FAQs

    What glasses do you serve mojitos in?

    The classic cocktail is served in a highball or Collins glass. For a frozen mojito, rocks, pint, or even a stemmed cocktail glass will work.

    Can I replace rum with vodka in a mojito?

    Yes! While it will change the flavor slightly, vodka can be substituted for white rum.
