Notes
To make your own simple syrup:
Simply bring ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar to boil in a small saucepan, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for about five minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To make this Blueberry Mojito into a large batch for a party:
Triple or quadrupling this recipe and serving in a pitcher or drink dispenser. Just make sure you leave out the ice and club soda until right before serving to keep it from becoming watered down or the club soda going flat.
