My first post, my first mojito
This is the first mojito recipe I have posted on this blog, and I must warn you: many will come. I work for Ron Santa Teresa, the oldest Ron de Venezuela producer, so it’s natural for me to mix and shake rum-based cocktails. This is also my first post on this blog, so I want to tell you: mi casa es tu casa.
Garden-to-bar mixology
This is a refreshing drink, and therefore it’s perfect for these hot summer days. I found the recipe in Market Fresh Mixology – Cocktails for Every Season, a book by Bridget Albert and Mary Barranco. I bought the book for this particular recipe. And then, I went out to buy organic dried lavender flowers to make my lavender syrup.
This book came to me after a wonderful weekend in New York, where I had the opportunity to visit some of the best bars I’ve been to. There, I could see how the mixologists are working increasingly with their homemade syrups.
So, I started experimenting with vanilla, mint, and lavender. On the lavender syrup, I must say that it is simply sublime.
A rum that tastes like rum
In this opportunity, I used Santa Teresa Claro. This rum holds the seal Controlled Appellation of Origin Ron de Venezuela. According to Giuseppe González, the mixologist at Painkiller, a trendy tiki bar in lower Manhattan, “this is a rum that tastes like rum, not vodka.”
Claro was created especially to make mojitos and daiquiris. Heavy rums give Claro its character and permanence. They also give it the aromas and flavors that make Claro the ideal rum to mix in all kinds of cocktails.
How to make Blueberry & Lavender Mojito
In addition to good rum, blueberries, lemons, and spearmint, the lavender syrup is vital to making this mojito. Here you will find the recipe to make it.
You will also need some utensils, including:
- Wooden cutting board
- Paring knife
- Boston shaker or, even better, a bartender tool kit
- Highball glasses
- Stainless steel straws

Happy 9 year anniversary mi Enri. You are a true inspiration.
I absolutely love the taste of blueberry and lavender. NYC sure has some really cool mixology bars.

Thank you mi Wendy Wine!
I’m over the mood with this recipe. Perfect for Summer afternoons.

This looks really nice! It makes me thirsty for cocktails!
Thank you Reika!
This drink looks amazing Enri! Do you normally use lemon instead of lime in your mojitos?
It all depends Kate. In Miami, like I did in Venezuela, I use limes because mojito is usually made with lime. However, while I lived in SoCal, I hat my own Meyer lemon tree and that was all I had for my drinks.
Mojitos are my favourite summer drink! I think blueberry and lavender in it would totally make it next level! Gonna have to give this recipe a go!
Thank you darling!

This sounds like a recipe that my Mom would enjoy as it is written. Due to allergies, I can’t do any mint. But, the blueberry and lavender combination would be good on their own.

Mojitos (virgin of course) are so yummy and refreshing, I only ever had the original flavour. I would like to give this flavour a try but I am a bit apprehensive about drinking lavender.
They are organic, edible and it’s just a little, subtle hint!
So refreshing! Perfect for Miami Summertime! Can’t wait to try the lavanda on it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE mojitos, so this is absolutely perfect for me! Totally snagging the ingredients to make this drink this weekend. Thanks!
