Brazil Nut Free Blueberry Mojito
Fresh blueberries and bright mint come together in this stunning cocktail that looks like it belongs on a rooftop bar but is totally achievable in your own kitchen. The muddling step is where the magic happens — crushing the berries and bruising the mint releases deep, fragrant flavor that no pre-made mix could ever replicate. A quick homemade simple syrup keeps things balanced, while fresh lime juice adds that sharp citrus backbone every great mojito needs. The whole thing gets topped with sparkling water for a fizzy, refreshing finish that makes it feel celebratory without being fussy. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nut concerns, so you can shake things up and sip without a second thought. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to double the batch before your guests even arrive.
