Ilas Blueberry Mojito Recipes

Steps:

• Add blueberries and mint leaves to a tall glass; muddle with the back of a wooden spoon. Fill the glass with ice cubes; add rum, lime juice and simple syrup. Top glass with club soda; mix well. Garnish with lime slice, mint and blueberries if desired.

Steps:

• Muddle together the mint and sugar in a cocktail shaker. Add the blueberries and lightly muddle. Add the rum, lime juice and some ice to the shaker and shake vigorously. Fill two tall glasses with ice, then pour 3 ounces club soda into each. Divide the rum mixture evenly between the glasses and stir gently. Garnish with a lime wedge, a few blueberries and a sprig of mint, and serve.

Steps:

• Muddle the blueberries, mint leaves and lemon and lime wedges in a cocktail shaker. Add the crushed ice, lemon and lime juice, rum, water and Truvia® natural sweetener and shake well. Strain over cubed or crushed ice and garnish with lemon wedge and mint sprig.

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle 1/2 cup blueberries with the sugar, lime wedges, mint and a small splash of club soda. Add the ice and rum and shake.
• Spoon the remaining 2 tbsp of blueberries into a tall glass and pour in the mojito. Top with a small splash of club soda and serve.

Steps:

• Lemongrass simple syrup.
• Chop the lemongrass stalks into 1-inch pieces, and bruise using a mortar and pestle. Place them in a pot with 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the syrup infuse for about 2 hours, or allow to cool and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Strain the syrup, pressing down on the lemongrass stalks to extract maximum flavor. Chill until ready to use. Once the syrup is strained, it will also keep in your fridge for a couple of weeks.
• Cocktail.
• To build each cocktail, arrange 4 cocktail glasses on a work surface and place 1/2 teaspoon sugar in each glass. Add 1 lime slice into each glass along with a handful of Thai basil, and muddle together.
• Pour in 2 ounces rum and 2 ounces lemongrass syrup. Top with ice and club soda. Stir and serve.

Steps:

• Put the blueberries, lemons and sugar in a jug and muddle. Bruise the mint leaves and add them to the jug with lots of ice. Pour over the rum and sparkling water and stir together.
