Do you remember the first time you tried a mojito?  For me is was several years ago, and mojitos were becoming very popular on restaurant menus.  My husband and I were at our favorite Tex-Mex place, and it was especially warm outside.  Ordering a cold, refreshing cocktail was definitely in order.  

The moment the cocktail hit the table, I knew I would love it!  It’s very pretty with fresh, green mint leaves, and even the look of the cocktail says “cold….refreshing…laid-back.”  This is exactly what a delicious mojito brings, and my Blueberry Coconut Mojito is no exception.

To make this delicious mojito, you’ll start with a cocktail shaker or mason jar.  Add about 6-8 mint leaves, torn into pieces, along with fresh blueberries, and sweetened flake coconut.

In the jar or shaker, you’ll muddle these together.  Muddle is just a fancy word for “crush together.”  You can use a muddling tool, or feel free to use the end of a wooden spoon, which is what I’m using here.  Muddling these ingredients together really brings out the flavors of the ingredients.  

Next, pour in the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and club soda over the muddled ingredients and add a few ice cubes.  Secure the lid on the jar or shaker, and shake for a few seconds.

Next, strain the cocktail into a glass, over ice and top with additional club soda.  Feel free to garnish with additional blueberries, coconut and a sprig of mint leaves.  You’ll have an amazing cocktail that is just as refreshing and delicious as it is pretty!
