Smashed blueberries and mint leaves mixed with lime juice, sugar, and indigo gin in this delicious cocktail. This Blueberry Gin Mojito is refreshing and perfect for a warm summer day.
Ingredients
  • ⅛ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 6-8 fresh mint leaves
  • Crushed ice
  • 2 tablespoons Empress 1908 gin, more to taste
  • Crushed ice
  • ¼ cup club soda
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint leaves
  • Blueberries
Directions:
  1. In a small or medium glass, add fresh blueberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and granulated sugar. Use a muddler to smash all the ingredients for a few minutes to release all the flavor. Add crushed ice to the glass so that it’s higher than the mixture.
  2. Pour the indigo gin so that it hits the crushed ice and not the blueberry mint lime mixture below. This will ensure that the gin stays that deep indigo blue color until you are ready to mix the cocktail.
  3. Add more crushed ice then top off the drink with club soda then garnish with more mint leaves, crushed ice, and blueberries.
  4. Serve the Blueberry Gin Mojito immediately cold.
