Instructions
One drink
Add the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker and muddle them with a wooden muddler. Pro tip - bashing with the muddle will remove all the blueberry juice and mint oils while the sugar will dissolve in the lemon juice. If you don't have a muddle you can use the end of a wooden spoon.
Add the rum and stir well. Then, strain into a tall glass filled with ice cubes and top with sparkling water. Garnish with more blueberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves. Pro tip - straining will leave the mashed blueberry skins and mint leaves behind.
Pitcher (6 drinks)
To a blender, add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a few mint leaves. Pour into a large pitcher and add the rum. Stir well to combine. Keep chilled until ready to use. Pro tip - you can prepare this base a few hours ahead of time and leave it in the refrigerator to chill.
When ready to serve, top the pitcher with sparkling water or club soda. Pour into tall glasses with ice cubes. Garnish with more mint leaves, lime wedges, and fresh blueberries. Pro tip - for those who do not want the mashed fruit you can strain it out.
