Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Muddle the Base

In a sturdy glass, add:

Blueberries
Mint leaves
Sugar
Lime juice

Gently muddle (press and twist) to release juices and mint oils.

Don’t over-mash the mint — that can make it bitter.

Step 2: Add Rum (Optional)

Pour in white rum if making the alcoholic version.

Stir gently to combine flavors.

Step 3: Add Ice and Soda

Fill the glass with ice cubes.

Top with club soda.

Stir lightly to blend.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with:

Extra blueberries
Fresh mint sprig
Lime slice

Serve immediately while fresh and bubbly.
