How to Make A Non-Alcoholic Blueberry Mojito
- Muddle the fresh blueberries and mint leaves with a spoon or a muddler in a tall glass or jug. This will release the flavors and juices from the blueberries and mint.
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass. Stir well to combine the blueberries, mint, and lime juice. Add the simple syrup.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space for the sparkling water at the top.
- Pour the sparkling water into the glass slowly and carefully to prevent it from overflowing. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients.
- Garnish the mocktail with lime slices and mint sprigs for an extra touch of freshness and presentation.
Muddling the blueberries is the best part; you can smell the mint as it’s crushed. Also, if you have never muddled, it’s gently crushing the fruit and herbs at the bottom of the glass.

How To Muddle – Using a Muddler or the end of a long wooden spoon, crush or ‘muddle’ the limes and blueberries, releasing the juice and oils. Muddling the blueberries and mint is the best part; you can smell the mint as it’s crushed. If you have never muddled it’s gently crushing the fruit and herbs at the bottom of the glass.
