I recently had my first lavender mojito at a restaurant, so I went looking for a recipe, and I found something similar. The one I had used a lavender and rosewater infused simple syrup but this blueberry version is also quite good. I like that it says 0-15 mint leaves, since I actually prefer my mojitos w/o mint (more like a Caipirinha). We skipped the seltzer, doubled the lime, and used cubes instead of crushed ice. From Martha Stewart Living Radio Blog. Ingredients:
mint leaf |
10 -15 blueberries |
1 ounce lavender simple syrup (it's posted in my recipes) |
1/2 lime, juice of |
1 1/2 ounces white rum |
club soda |
Directions:
1. In a tall glass, muddle mint leaves, simple syrup or lavender syrup, lime juice, blueberries, and rum. Muddle just enough to combine flavors, being careful not to over-muddle.
2. Fill glass with crushed ice. Top with club soda and stir.
3. Garnish with 3 blueberries on a toothpick. Serve with a straw.
