Mixed Berry Mojitos

Servings 1 drink

Ingredients

For the Mixed Berry Simple Syrup:

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries

To assemble:

  • 6 mint leaves
  • 3/4 oz. lime juice
  • 1 oz. mixed berry simple syrup
  • 2 oz. white rum
  • Ice
  • 1 oz. club soda

Instructions

  • For the mixed berry simple syrup: bring water, sugar, blueberries and strawberries to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, smashing the berries as they soften. Place a fine mesh strainer over a clean bowl. Strain syrup. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup and white rum. Muddle mint leaves. If you don't have a muddler (I don't) use the end of a wooden spoon or something similar to break up the leaves a bit. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and put on lid. Shake about 30 seconds to chill.
  • Strain through top of the cocktail shaker and pour over ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with additional mint if desired.
