Instructions
Prepare the Mint:
Start by muddling the mint leaves and sugar (or honey) in a bowl or cocktail shaker. This releases the mint's essential oils and adds flavor. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to enhance the mint flavor.
Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the frozen blueberries, muddled mint mixture, lime juice, and rum (if using). Add a handful of ice cubes to create a slushy texture. Blend until smooth.
Adjust Consistency:
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of club soda or water to thin it out. Blend again to combine.
Serve:
Pour the frozen mixture into glasses. Top with club soda for some fizz and garnish with additional mint leaves and a few whole blueberries.
Enjoy:
Sip on your refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
