Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

The Kiwi Blueberry Mojito is a fruity twist on a classic cocktail featuring pureed kiwi, muddled blueberries, fresh mint, lime juice, rum, and sparkling water. Blue and green colored sugar rim the glasses for a festive touch. The drink is refreshing, combining tart kiwi and blueberries with the brightness of lime and mint, balanced by sweetness and effervescence.

Ingredients

  • 6 kiwi peeled and cut in half or quartered
  • 4 kiwi peeled and sliced - to be used as garnishes
  • 6 ounces Blueberry to be crushed
  • 6 ounce Blueberry to be kept whole as garnishes
  • ¼ cup lime juice from 1-2 limes, fresh
  • sugar adjust to taste
  • 4 ounce mint leaves only
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups sparkling water
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups rum adjust based on your preference
  • ice as needed
  • colored sugar blue and/or green, to decorate glass rims

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the cut kiwis in a small food processor with the sugar and lime juice, pulse until you have coarse puree. Mix the kiwi puree with the rum, you can start by adding the lower amount and then adjust as you prepare the drink.
  2. Gently crush the first 6 ounces of blueberries using a muddler.
  3. You can make the mojitos in pitcher or in individual glasses.
  4. Moisten the rims of the glasses with a slice of lime and garnish the rims with the sugar. If you can’t find blue and/or green sugar, you can use blue/green cookie sugar sprinkles.
  5. To make it in a pitcher, pour the kiwi puree into the pitcher, add a layer of ice, add a good amount of mint leaves and kiwi slices. Next add a few more ice cubes, and then add the crushed blueberries, some more mint leaves and whole blueberries. Top off with the sparkling water and mix gently. Taste and add more rum, sparkling water, or sugar if needed.
  6. To make the drink in individual glasses, follow a similar process as for the pitcher, but add a few whole blueberries at the beginning. You can also add a slice of kiwi with the blueberries at the end.

Notes

  • For a mocktail, omit rum and increase sparkling water or use sparkling lemonade instead.
