    Blueberry Mojito Mocktail

    Jump to Recipe

    Crisp and refreshing, this blueberry mojito mocktail dazzles your senses with sparkling water, fresh blueberries and cooling mint to create a mouth-watering summer drink. The homemade blueberry-lime sugar syrup takes this virgin mojito up a notch!

    Anyone can enjoy this non-alcoholic, fruity version of the classic beverage that perfectly balances the sweet and tart flavors. This drink, along with homemade lemonade, are my favorite summer drinks.

    When I'm in the mood for a cocktail, I whip up this passion fruit mojito recipe. If I'm ditching the booze, I go for this blueberry version—perfect for blueberry lovers but available in more fruit variations: pomegranate mojito mocktail and strawberry mojito mocktail.

    Blueberry Mojito Mocktail Ingredients

    Blueberry mojito mocktail ingredients prepped and labeled.
    • fresh blueberries - You will need fresh blueberries to add to the drink. For the sugar syrup, however, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries; it's up to you. I personally prefer fresh when they are in season.
    • white sugar - The sugar is for the blueberry simple syrup we are making. The syrup is delicious and leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and used again for other cool beverages.
    • limes - You will need fresh limes for the drink as well as the syrup.
    • club soda - Or sparkling water.
    • fresh mint - The fresh mint will be used in the drink as well as for a garnish.
    • ice cubes - Not pictured. To chill the drink.

    How to Make it

    Make the Syrup

    Blueberry-lime sugar syrup in saucepan.

    Step 1. Make the Blueberry-Lime Syrup. Add the blueberries, sugar, water and lime juice to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.

    Step 2. Strain the Syrup. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the fruit and let it cool. You can use the back of a spoon to push on the fruit and get all of the juices out. Reserve.

    Build the Mocktail in the Glass

    Joss' Tips

    • For best results use the freshest ingredients possible, including the limes, blueberries and mint.
    • Choose mint leaves that are firm (not wilting) and evenly green without dark spots.
    • Make sure you don't over-stir the drink: the fruit and leaves should float attractively in the water, not get crushed inside the glass.

    Serving Suggestions

    While heavy food might overtake the mojito's delicate flavors, a light meal brings out the fresh mint, tart lime and sweet blueberries.

    Appetizers. Blueberry mojito mocktails pair well with appetizers like spring rolls, bacon-wrapped pickles and melon prosciutto skewers.

    Dinner. For sit-down dinners, serve your mojitos with a light entrée like grilled halibut or BBQ pizza with light toppings.

    Dessert. If you serve this mojito mocktail as an after-dinner treat, pair the drinks with a light dessert like tea cookies or shortbread, lemon meringue pie or fruit tarts.

    For charcuterie boards, try a sharp white cheddar, feta or goat cheese to balance out the sweet blueberries. Try a spicy meat like chorizo; or opt for milder options like salami and prosciutto.

    Slices of orange or another citrus fruit round out the selection. The color of this drink matches this 4th of July charcuterie board perfectly.

    Drinkware. The right presentation will have your guests craving a mocktail in the middle of a hot day. There is no need to wait for 5 o'clock! Serve the mocktail in a clear glass or pitcher that showcases the real blueberries, mint leaves and clinking ice cubes, signifying the drink's freshness.
