Blueberry mojitos are the perfect blend of fruity, minty, and sweet, and making them in a pitcher for a crowd is so easy! Perfect for showers, picnics, or anytime you’re hosting friends with good taste.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd - perfectly light, minty, fruity and easy // 40 Aprons

My blueberry mojito recipe is one of my all-time favorite cocktail recipes–it’s bursting with a lightness that, paired with the fruitiness of the blueberries and tartness of the limes, is hard to beat. Especially during the warmer months!

Except I happen to be super preggo. Like.. super preggo.

OK, so pregnancy has dragged me into a world of wishing pregnancy on everyone else I meet (ah, let’s get together and complain, coo, and compare notes on recent studies on caffeine levels and how much wine you can drink), but don’t worry.. you can’t catch it. Not from me, at least.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd - perfectly light, minty, fruity and easy // 40 ApronsHEYO……………… anyway, ahem. Blueberry mojitos. For a crowd!

Hubs and I decided to throw a gender reveal party, because obviously. Why would we not gather our family and closest friends for any sort of party, much less one with a theme so ripe with creative potential? I knew that we wanted everything to be pink and blue (again, obviously), including the drinks, but all I was coming up with on Pinterest was electric blue, Koolaid- and Jello-based punches which is just really not my style. Mojitos, though? Mojitos are definitely my style.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd - perfectly light, minty, fruity and easy // 40 ApronsI decided to expand my one-off blueberry mojitos recipe and add a dash of blue food coloring, because, well, blueberries are actually pretty damn purple, and it made for the perfect non-preggo sipper for the party. I, of course, had to taste test a tiny little sip to make sure everything was balanced right, and whoa mama! I’m making a batch of these for our hospital bag. They are good.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd - perfectly light, minty, fruity and easy // 40 ApronsWhat I love about this recipe is that it’s elegant but fun, is easy to expand (I made 3 batches!), festive, but fruit and minty and tart and light and lovely. It’s an excellent mojito, and takes hardly any effort at all. Make a simple syrup, mash some leaves, limes, and blueberries, et voilà! It doesn’t get much easier. I mean, OK, I guess you could mix some Hawaiian Blue Tropic punch with Sprite, or whatever, but, if that’s not your style?

Of course, these are beyond perfect for a gender reveal party (team blue!), especially when paired with my strawberry-basil lemonade (coming soon!), but they work so well for any other event as well. Serve them in a pitcher with glasses and plenty of ice, next to the printed recipe. You’ll be asked; trust me.

Blueberry Mojitos for a Crowd

Prep 5 minutes
Total 5 minutes
The perfect pitcher cocktail--fruity, minty, light, tart, bursting with springy, summery goodness.
6 people

Ingredients

  • 35 fresh mint leaves , very roughly chopped (just barely!)
  • cup simple syrup , or a little more to taste (2:1 ratio of sugar:water, see note)
  • 3-4 limes , quartered, depending on how tart you like it
  • 40 blueberries
  • 1-1/14 cup white rum
  • 3-4 cups soda water , to taste (about 3-4 cups)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or pitcher, combine mint leaves and 1/3 cup simple syrup and muddle well 'til oils are released and very fragrant. Add limes and muddle 'til juiced. In a small bowl, muddle blueberries separately 'til mashed. Add blueberries to large bowl or pitcher, then add white rum (go for 1 1/4 cups if your crowd can hang! for a daytime event, I'd go with 1 cup). Stir to combine, and add about 2 cups soda water. Taste and add more simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste, and soda water until the mojito is light and bubbly enough. Serve with plenty of ice!
This recipe makes one batch, which serves about 6. Easily double or triple the ingredients for larger crowds!
To make simple syrup:
Combine 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool. Makes a little more than a cup; reserve any remainder for another use.

  1. Hey was wondering if these could be made like a day prior to your event??
    Or would the soda water go flat so wouldn’t taste nice??
    And if not able to make in advance which sections could you (if any)

    Thanks!

    1. My concern about making most if it in advance is that your mint leaves will get a little wilty and dark green – not super appealing. So what I would do is make the simple syrup in advance and prepare the rest of your ingredients. That way you could put it together in like 3 minutes and everything will taste fresh! Let me know how it goes!

      1. Thanks so much Cheryl!

        Want to make them for my wedding which isn’t for 12 months yet! (Getting organised haha) but because myself and my sisters are troopers we will most likely be giving these a decent crack before then haha!

        Will let you know!! Thanks again!

        Chloe

  5. Welp, I’m totally going to have to make some of this for myself sometime soon. Maybe not a whole pitcher because that miiiiiiiight be a little much. But I bet what I do make will be delicious.

    Also? When I was pregnant, I totally wanted other folks to be pregnant when I was so we could compare notes. And I had a few friends who were, so it was pretty awesome. I hope you’ve got some pregnant buds to compare notes with!

    1. Nah, Erin, you deserve a whole pitcher! For sure! Hahah. And yeah, I have a pretty tight group of girls who are all pregnant and pretty much all we do is compare symptom notes. Makes me feel a lot less huge/gross/like a.. monster..
