Blueberry Mojito Recipe: Easy Summer Cocktail

Are you dying to get your hands on an easy summer cocktail? This Blueberry Mojito recipe has you covered! Read more below.  

Earlier this summer we pulled up some chairs to sit around the bar with some friends at the Forsyth Mansion in Savannah, and I immediately noticed another guest sipping the prettiest drink. When the bartender came around asking what we’d like, everybody chuckled when I said “That!” without hesitation and pointed to her drink. I didn’t know yet what it was, but I would soon learn that it would be my new favorite drink – a blueberry mojito.

This lightened up blueberry mojito features substitutions like sugar alternatives and seltzer water that make it lower calorie without sacrificing any taste! Delicious!

I’m not actually a big mixed drink kind of girl and usually a glass of wine is what I’ll reach for when we’re out socializing, but I’m totally digging the refreshing, sweet taste of this mojito lately.

Jamie was super sweet last week and surprised me by making a couple pit stops on his way home Friday to pick up the ingredients to make my new favorite drink at home. We’d had a busy day at his office with an FRG event and the week in general was just nutty, so cheering to the weekend with a blueberry mojito in hand while cooking a late dinner was a total treat.

Since then I’ve had fun experimenting with a few different versions of this cocktail, but I mainly just wanted to find a way to lighten it up without sacrificing any taste.

Blueberry Mojito Recipe

Voila! Nailed it. Introducing a lightened up blueberry mojito that will make anybody who tries it say “Oh dang, that’s good!” before rapidly taking a second sip (which is exactly what Jamie said/did after I made this and snapped these pictures a few days ago). 🙂

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
