Description
This kiwi blueberry mojito cocktail combines fresh kiwis, blueberries, lime, and mint for a refreshing drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 kiwis (peeled and cut in half or quartered)
- 4 kiwis (peeled and sliced – to be used as garnishes)
- 6 ounces of blueberries (to be crushed)
- 6 ounces of blueberries (to be kept whole as garnishes)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 1–2 limes)
- ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 ounce pack of mint (leaves only)
- 1 ½ – 2 cups of sparkling water
- 1 to 1 ½ cups of rum (adjust based on your preference)
- Ice as needed
- Blue and/or green sugar to decorate glass rims
Instructions
- Place the cut kiwis in a small food processor with the sugar and lime juice, pulse until you have coarse puree. Mix the kiwi puree with the rum, starting with the lower amount and adjusting as needed.
- Gently crush the first 6 ounces of blueberries using a muddler.
- You can make the mojitos in a pitcher or in individual glasses.
- Moisten the rims of the glasses with a slice of lime and garnish the rims with the sugar. If needed, use blue/green cookie sugar sprinkles.
- To make it in a pitcher, pour the kiwi puree into the pitcher, add a layer of ice, mint leaves, and kiwi slices. Add more ice cubes, crushed blueberries, more mint leaves, and whole blueberries. Top off with sparkling water and mix gently. Taste and adjust rum, sparkling water, or sugar as needed.
- To make the drink in individual glasses, follow a similar process, adding whole blueberries at the beginning and a slice of kiwi with the blueberries at the end.
