So let’s make something different today, a mojito mocktail. Although, what is a drink without some fruity punch in it? How about adding some blueberries into the mix? Let’s make a blueberry mojito mocktail to beat the heat.

 

Ingredients Required to Make Blueberry Mojito Mocktail 

While you can use several different ingredients to make your blueberry Mojito mocktail. Let’s look at the ingredients we would be using to make our mocktail. Firstly, we need frozen blueberries, for obvious reasons. Prefer going for frozen over fresh only if you want a better colour. You could either use a pink lemonade concentrate or any liquid sweetener. We use this to add flavour and sweetness to the drink. Lime juice and mint are two essential ingredients required to make a mojito. Also, coconut water acts as a great substitute for alcohol. Therefore, the ingredients required are:

 

• Ice cubes
• 3 ounces of club soda (or any other soda of your choice)
• 2 ounces of coconut water
• 6-8 leaves of fresh mint
• 2 tablespoon frozen blueberries
• 1-2 tablespoons of frozen pink lemon concentrate
• Juice of ½ a lime

 

Please keep in mind that this quantity only suffices for one serving.

 

Can I Make Blueberry Mojito With Alcohol?

Absolutely! To make a classic Blueberry mojito, just add a splash of rum before adding the soda.

 

Tools Required to Make Blueberry Mojito Mocktail 

You might have noticed your bartender using different tools to get your drink ready. Making drinks is not as easy as it looks but these tools help make it easy. Be it a rimmer or a zester, a bartender has a lot of equipment with him. Mocktails don’t require much. The most essential tool while making a mocktail is your muddler. People often think that a muddler helps to tear or mince the herbs but it is not so. A muddler helps bring out the oils from fruits and herbs. So, the tools that you will require to prepare our Blueberry mojito mocktail are:

• A tall glass: So that you can muddle easily.
• A Muddler: You could also use the back of a wooden spoon if you don’t have a muddler.
• A Jigger: This tool is a lot of help while making drinks at home. It helps measure the syrup in ounces. If unavailable, just use. A tablespoon at home instead. (2 tbsp = 1 ounce)
• Lowball glass: You could honestly go for any glass of your choice to serve but we prefer serving in a lowball glass.

 

Blueberry Mojito Mocktail Recipe 

Let’s start making our blueberry Mojito Mocktail now. Firstly, take your tall glass and add those blueberries and mint leaves. Pour in some fresh lime juice and your frozen pink lemonade concentrate. Muddle the four of these ingredients together. As already mentioned, muddling isn’t about tearing. It is about bringing out the flavour and aroma of these herbs. So, gently press on them and keep stirring too.

Add some ice cubes into the glass and then add the coconut water into it. Finally, add your soda. You may use any soda of your choice or preference. Ensure that you might want to use less of the liquid sweetener if going for a sweet soda. Don’t forget your ice cubes! 

To make your drink look pretty, you may top it with blueberries or mint leaves. So garnishing is completely optional.
