Blueberry Mint Mojito and Blueberry Mint Fizz

Cool drinks are key for everyone, young and old when entertaining during summer. Keeps the party alive and kicking. I have added my Minty Mint Simple Syrup and Very Berry Blueberry Simple Syrup to give the drinks an even bolder flavor and color.

2 ounces of white rum (like Bacardi Superior or Havana Club)

juice of ½ a lime

2 tablespoons of Minty Mint Flavored Simple Syrup

1 tablespoon of Very Berry Blueberry Flavored Simple Syrup

2 ounces club soda 

5 leaves of mint and 1 sprig for decoration

8 – 10 blueberries

In a long drink glass, squeeze juice of ½ lime, 2 tablespoons of Minty Mint Flavored Simple Syrup, 1 tablespoon of Very Berry Blueberry Flavored Simple Syrup along with 5 mint leaves and about 5 blueberries and muddle until the mint leaves are bruised and the blueberries are a bit crushed. Then pour 2 ounces of rum into the glass, fill with ice cubes, top with 2 ounces of soda and the remaining blueberries and stir. Add a sprig of mint as a decoration and Voilà! A refreshing long drink to start the party.
