Description

Imagine your standard mojito wandered into a farmer’s market and came back with a basket of blueberries and a new outlook on life. That’s the Blueberry Breeze Mojito: fresh, fizzy, and just a little flirty. The sweetness of ripe blueberries balances the tang of lime and the crisp punch of rum, while the mint keeps everything refreshingly light. It’s like summer in a glass, only better; because this summer comes with rum.
