Dream of Sunny Days with our Skinny Sparkling Blueberry Watermelon Mojito

by Cascade Ice on January 28, 2022

We’re in the thick of winter weather, which can be dark and gloomy. If you need something that will give you a little pick-me-up while you daydream about warmer temperatures and sunny skies, this cocktail is it! And like all our drink recipes, it’s low sugar and can be made as a mocktail if you want to omit the alcohol. 

Most everyone has tried the classic mojito made with rum, mint, and lime. But this recipe takes a spin on the old school version by switching out the lime flavors with the tartness of blueberries and the sweet juiciness of watermelon! You can even make ahead of time and double the batch if you’re hosting a happy hour or party. 

Check out our recipe below!

Skinny Sparkling Blueberry Watermelon Mojito

• 1/2 cup baking stevia or sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups of blueberries 
• 6 oz. rum 
• Fresh mint leaves 
• 2 cups Cascade Ice Sparkling Water in Blueberry Watermelon 

Add stevia (or sugar), water and blueberries together in a saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, reduce temperature and let cook for 8 minutes. Muddle blueberries until they’re completely mashed. Allow them to cool. 

Grab your favorite glass, add mint leaves and rum with ice, along with 2 oz. of the blueberry mixture. Top with Cascade Ice, and add watermelon garnish, if desired. Cheers!
