MSG Free Blueberry Mojito
Fresh blueberries, bright lime juice, crisp mint, and a splash of white rum come together in a cocktail that tastes like summer in a glass. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, which means you can sip without a second thought about hidden additives or flavor enhancers sneaking into your drink. The homemade simple syrup takes only a couple of minutes on the stovetop and gives you full control over exactly what goes into your glass — no mystery syrups, no shortcuts. Muddling the blueberries and mint together releases deep berry color and that irresistible herbal fragrance that makes a mojito so satisfying. A generous pour of sparkling water at the end keeps things light and effervescent without relying on any pre-mixed sodas or flavored waters. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of fresh mint, and you have a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes.
