INGREDIENTS:-
FOR THE GINGER SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold water
- FOR THE MOJITO:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 20 to 24 fresh mint leaves
- 4 ounces ginger simple syrup
- 4 ounces vodka
- 5 ounces club soda
- Ice cubes
- Blueberries, for garnish
- Mint leaves, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:-
For the Ginger simple syrup:-
- Peel and grate the ginger and add it, together with the sugar and cold water, to a saucepan. Bring it to the boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Cover and let steep for 15 minutes.
- Strain and cool in the refrigerator when done.
For the Mojito:
- Add the blueberries, lime wedges and fresh mint leaves to the glass (or pitcher). Muddle with a wooden spoon so the blueberries are broken and the mint and lime release their juices and flavor.
- If assembling pitchers you can cover them at this stage and leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, add the simple syrup, vodka and top off with club soda. Give it a quick stir and then pour into glasses with ice cubes.
- Garnish with a handful of fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint.
- The recipe outlined below is for 2 tall glasses, but you can use the ratio to make pitchers (depending on how big your pitcher is double or quadruple the recipe).
- Combine the blueberries, mint leaves and lime wedges in the pitcher and muddle it in there with the back of a wooden spoon.
- When you are ready to serve add the vodka, ginger simple syrup and club soda. Stir and pour into glasses with a couple of ice cubes.
- Garnish each glass with some fresh blueberries and a sprig of fresh mint.
