How to Make the Best Huckleberry Mojito
This Huckleberry Mojito is the perfect summer cocktail for those who love a refreshing twist on the classic mojito. Fresh huckleberries add a beautiful deep purple hue and a slightly tart, berry-forward flavor that pairs wonderfully with the cool mint and crisp lime.
Huckleberries are a Pacific Northwest treasure, and this cocktail celebrates their unique flavor beautifully. The muddling process releases both the aromatic oils from the fresh mint and the juices from the berries, creating a vibrant base that gets shaken with quality white rum and a touch of sweetness.
Whether you’re relaxing on a warm afternoon or hosting a summer gathering, this easy-to-make cocktail is sure to impress. The combination of fruity huckleberries, refreshing mint, and fizzy soda water makes every sip feel like a mini vacation.

- In a martini shaker, muddle the mint and half of the huckleberries until the mint is broken up and releases its oils.
