Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, puree blueberries until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large highball glass (16 oz), muddle together the simple syrup and mint leaves. (Muddling is a technique used to gently mash herbs and/or fruit to release the essence or juices. I recommend using a muddler for best results, however the back of a wooden spoon can be used in a pinch.)
- Divide the muddled simple syrup and mint leaves between two highball glasses. In each glass, stir in 2 oz rum, 1 oz lime juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the blueberry puree, to taste.
- Fill glass with ice and then top with club soda. Garnish with mint and blueberries, if desired.

Notes
Pitcher: Double or triple the recipe ingredients and prepare the mojito in the pitcher without ice or club soda. When it's time to serve, add the club soda into the pitcher and stir gently. Pour it into ice-filled glasses.
Make Ahead: Yes! Skip the ice and club soda until right before serving. You can prepare the mojitos up to 3 days in advance.
