  • 1 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 10-12 fresh blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice

  2. Muddle the Ingredients:
    In a tall glass, muddle the kiwi slices, blueberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice. Press gently to release the flavors but avoid over-muddling the mint leaves, as it can make them bitter.

  4. Add Ice and Soda:
    Fill the glass with crushed ice and top it with club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine everything.
  5. Garnish:
    Garnish the drink with extra kiwi slices, blueberries, and mint sprigs. Add a colorful straw and a lime wedge if desired.
  6. Serve:
    Serve immediately, enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors from the kiwi and berries combined with the minty mojito base!
