About the Blueberry Mojito
Blueberries were only domesticated in 1916, when botanist Frederick Coville and farmer Elizabeth White sold the first cultivated crop from New Jersey.
Missing something?
- No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
- No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
