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.
