Ingredients
  

  • cup sugar
  • cup water
  • cup fresh mint, plus more for garnish
  • 4 limes (3 for the pitcher, plus one for garnish)
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (defrost if frozen)
  • cups white rum
  • 4 cups club soda (about 1 liter)

Instructions
 

  • Place the sugar and the water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir, and then remove from the heat. Let cool completely (put it in the refrigerator to speed this along). This is the simple syrup.
  • Remove the mint from the stems. Slice three of the limes into eight sections each.
  • Place the mint and the lime sections into a large pitcher. Use a pestle, wooden spoon, or meat mallet to crush the mint leaves and the limes. Make sure to crush each of the lime sections until they release their juice.
  • Add the blueberries and crush those, too. It doesn’t have to be perfect—some of the blueberries can still be whole.
  • Pour in the rum and the simple syrup from step 1. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, stir the club soda into the pitcher. Cut the remaining lime into eight wedges.
  • Place ice in each individual glass and pour the blueberry mojito mixture over the top.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and more mint. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can use either spearmint or peppermint for the fresh mint. Spearmint has a sweeter taste and peppermint has a stronger mint flavor. I used spearmint here. Either one will be delicious. 
Use whichever brand of white rum (also called silver rum or light rum) that you prefer. I used Bacardi. Avoid using dark rum, as the color will muddy the gorgeous purple hue of this cocktail. Dark rum also has a stronger taste that we don't want here. 
Make this a mocktail by substituting regular water or club soda for the rum.
