Introduction

This mojito not only retains the classic mint and lime flavors but also incorporates the distinctive, slightly tart taste of huckleberries. The deep blue hue of the berries makes the drink visually enticing, while their high antioxidant content offers a health boost, ensuring you enjoy both flavor and nourishment.

Tools Needed

• Muddler: For gently crushing the mint and other ingredients to release their flavors.
• Jigger: To precisely measure liquid components and ensure the perfect balance.
• Bar Spoon: For stirring the drink and ensuring an even mix.
• Glass: A highball glass is recommended to showcase the cocktail’s layers and colors.

Ingredients

• Huckleberries (1/2 cup): Add a rich berry flavor along with a natural sweetness.
• Mint Leaves (10): Contribute a fresh aroma.
• White Rum (1.5 oz): Provides the alcoholic base and adds depth to the flavor.
• Simple Syrup (1/2 oz): Adjust the sweetness as desired; feel free to modify according to taste.
• Lime Juice (1 oz): Its fresh tartness balances the overall sweetness.
• Club Soda (to top off): Add enough to fill the glass, creating a light, bubbly texture.
• Ice (as needed): Keeps the drink cool and enhances the overall experience.

Steps to Make

1. Place the huckleberries and mint leaves in your glass and gently muddle them using the muddler.

2. Pour in all ingredients except the club soda and give everything a good stir with your bar spoon.

3. Add ice to the glass, top off with club soda, and stir a few more times to combine.
