On the Rocks: St. Joe’s Blueberry Mojito.

I had my first experience with mojitos at a fusion restaurant/bar in Minneapolis’ Uptown area called Chino Latino. (PS: If you’re ever in the area eat there – you won’t be sorry!) Since that day back in 2003 they’ve become one of my favorite cocktails. I think it’s the combination of mint and lime that floats my boat. That said, I’m really anxious to try out St. Joe’s Blueberry Mojito and its twist on the classic!

Ingredients:
– 10 mint leaves
– 10 blueberries
– 3/4 oz simple syrup
– 1 oz lime juice
– 1 oz chilled club soda
– 1 oz chilled Sprite
– 1 1/2 oz gold rum

In a cocktail glass, muddle blueberries, simple syrup, and mint. Fill the glass with ice. Pour the lime juice, club soda, sprite, and rum into the glass, pouring the liquid over the back of a spoon to avoid disturbing as much mint as possible. Swirl the glass to mix, and enjoy!
