This fresh and thirst quenching cocktail is perfect for entertaining your holiday guests or as a lazy afternoon tipple for poolside fun! Really easy to make and seriously delicious! For a fun and stylish twist, serve in a clean used jam jar!

Mint Syrup:

Start by combining the ingredients in a sauce pan, bringing it to a small boil over medium heat. Make sure u stir the mixture all the while. Once the mixture boils, turn down the heat to low for an minute or two more. Then remove from heat and let it cool for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is at room temperature and has a syrupy texture!

7 mint leaves
11 fresh blueberries
1.5 ounce simple syrup
1-1.5 ounce rum (more if your a lush)

Add the blueberries, mint, and simple syrup to the jar. Mesh the mint leaves and blueberries until the berries have burst and are mixing well with the mint. Add the rum, lime juice, and some ice. Drop in some blueberries for garnish and add the soda water to fill up the jar. Stir the cocktail and add a sprig of fresh mint for garnish! Perfect!
