Seasonal Refreshment

The dog days of summer are upon us and I’m making sure there’s plenty of ice in the ice bucket as well as plump juicy berries and watermelon on hand for all the things. We’re still waiting for local heirloom tomatoes, but yesterday at Kettles Edge Farm, I picked up the first haul of Sun Gold tomatoes. I’m so excited and have plans for those babies. 

Even in the Pacific Northwest, it’s been very hot. We’re looking forward to a bit of rain this weekend, but I’m not holding my breath. 

All the signs of late summer are upon us. Corn and peaches are starting to make a showing, the days are getting noticeably shorter, the bucks are developing their fuzzy antlers and shorebirds are making their way here, stopping over before heading further south. The geese are flying over again too with their nasally honking calls. Seasonal transitions captivate me and infuse my senses with inspiration and wonder. I think summer to fall is my favorite.

Holding on to Summer

But I’m not bidding summer farewell just yet. After-all, there’s a ton of zucchini coming in, corn to shuck and an abundance of late summer berries. 

Blueberry Mojitos are a most cherished tradition around here. Mint plucked from the herb patch and plump local blueberries from the farmers market, these white rum cocktails are super simple to make and refreshing. 

Mojitos are a classic, but just about any fresh soft fruit or berry can be added to turn a classic mojito into something extra special. 

For this Blueberry Mojito, all you need is simple syrup, limes, fresh blueberries, mint, white rum, and some club soda to make this happy hour rum cocktail fizzy.

A Few Recipe Notes

  • Whip these Blueberry Mojitos up in individual high or low ball glasses.
  • Pair these cocktails with a mezze platter, hummus or ricotta dip. 
  • The simple syrup can be whipped up days in advance and stored in the fridge. Make your own. It’s easy and so much more economical then buying it at the store. Plus you can make it extra minty!

Late summer means fresh Blueberry Mojitos! A white rum cocktail that's easy to make, minty and super refreshing!
*Time below does not include amount of time needed to chill the simple syrup.

Ingredients

For the Mint Simple Syrup:

  • 1/2 C (120g) Cane Sugar
  • 1/2 C (116g) Water
  • 2 Large Sprigs of Mint

For the Mojito:

  • 1/2 Lime Cut into small wedges + more for garnish
  • 4-8 Mint Leaves + sprigs for garnish (the amount of leaves will depend on taste - I use 8)
  • 1/3 C (40g) Fresh Blueberries heaped cup + more for garnish
  • 1 - 1 1/2 oz (28g) Mint Simple Syrup cooled, add more or less to taste
  • Ice to top off glass
  • 2 oz (57g) White Rum
  • Club Soda to top off glass

Instructions

For the Mint Simple Syrup:

  • Pour 1/2 C (120g) sugar and 1/2 C (116g) water into small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir. Boil until all the sugar is dissolved, just a few minutes. Add the mint sprigs and cover to steep for 10 minutes. Strain into a lidded container for storage in the refrigerator until ready to use. 

For the Mojito:

  • In a 16 oz (454g) highball glass, layer the cut lime wedges, mint leaves, and blueberries.
  • Pour in the simple syrup, 1 - 1 1/2 oz or to taste, and use a muddler to muddle the mixture for about 30 seconds. The goal is to squeeze out the lime juice, mash the berries and to allow the mint to release its oils. There should be bits of blueberries left when muddling is complete.
  • Add the light rum to the muddled mixture, then add crushed ice (I fill mine almost to the top). Top off with Club Soda. Stir well. Garnish with a lime wedge, more blueberries, and mint stem. When finishing the mojito, have a spoon on hand to dig out the delicious blueberry bits!
