Blueberry Mojito that Tastes Like Cake

If you love cocktails that taste like dessert, you’re going to love this blueberry vodka mojito recipe. The simple syrup makes the beverage taste like cake – so delicious!

Everyone has a different definition of a delicious cocktail, but for me if it tastes like dessert, that’s when it’s truly a winner. I also like fruity drinks – for example, our cherry vodka sour is one of my favorites (especially in summer!). I guess I’m saying, I like fruity dessert drinks?

And that’s exactly what you get with this blueberry cake mojito recipe – a flavor that is minty like you’d expect a mojito to be, but with enough blueberry that you feel like you are drinking something decadent.

Sometimes you find a cocktail worth cheating a bit for – this mojito recipe is that cocktail.

That of course depends on whether you consider liquids to be “cheating” . . . I prefer to leave those out, personally! Here’s how you make this amazing blueberry cake cocktail.

Blueberry Vodka Mojito

Ingredients

• 10 Mint Leaves
• 8 Fresh Blueberries
• 0.5 Blueberry Simple Syrup (see below)
• 1 ounce Smirnoff Blueberry Vodka
• 1 ounce Kinky Blue
• 1 ounce Lime Juice
• Club Soda

Directions

In a cocktail shaker add mint leaves and fresh blueberries. Using a muddler mash leaves and berries to release mint oils and blueberry juices.

Add blueberry simple syrup, blueberry vodka, Kinky Blue, and freshly squeezed lime juice, fill with crushed ice.

Shake vigorously until your arms fall off or for 30 seconds, whichever come first.

Strain using a fine sieve into a standard rocks or whiskey glass.

Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint leave or blueberries. Serve.

Blueberry Simple Syrup Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Water

Blueberry Simple Syrup Directions

(makes enough for two cocktails)

Use a medium sauce pan, add one cup of water, one cup of sugar and one cups of blueberries. Mash blueberries with a muddler or fork to release juice.

Bring mixture to a rolling boil and stir. Boil for 2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and cover with a lid. Let mixture steep for 10 minutes.

Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a medium-size bowl and chill in the refrigerator to cool.

I challenge you to tell me this isn’t one of your favorite go-to drinks for summer! Did that even make sense? No idea, but seriously – you have to try it.
