Low Sodium Blueberry Mojito
Fresh blueberries and bright mint come together in a cocktail that feels like summer in a glass. Muddling the berries and bruising the mint releases their natural flavors, so every sip is layered, fragrant, and genuinely refreshing. A quick homemade simple syrup brings just the right touch of sweetness without any unnecessary additives — you control exactly what goes in. The combination of tart lime juice, crisp white rum, and a generous pour of sparkling water keeps things lively and balanced from the first sip to the last. Because this recipe relies entirely on fresh fruit, herbs, and clean pantry staples, there's no need to scrutinize store-bought mixes for hidden sodium or preservatives. Garnished with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel, it looks as good as it tastes — impressive enough for guests, easy enough for a quiet evening at home.
