Wheat Free Blueberry Mojito
Fresh blueberries, bright lime juice, crisp mint, and a splash of white rum — this cocktail is summer in a glass. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out; it just works as written. The muddling step is where the magic happens, crushing the blueberries and bruising the mint until the glass smells absolutely incredible before you've even added the rum. A quick homemade simple syrup ties everything together with just the right touch of sweetness, and the sparkling water finish keeps it light and effervescent. It's the kind of drink that looks like it came from a craft cocktail bar but comes together in minutes on your own counter. Serve it in tall highball glasses with a lime wheel and a sprig of mint, and it's genuinely hard not to make a second round.
