Directions
- Decorate the glass rim
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip the rim into blue sprinkles set on a plate so they stick evenly, creating a decorative border. - Blend the kiwi base
Place fresh kiwi into a blender along with simple syrup. Blend until smooth, creating a sweet kiwi mixture. - Prepare the fruit base in the glass
Squeeze half a lime into each prepared glass. Add a layer of fresh blueberries to the bottom of each glass. - Add mint leaves
Drop fresh mint leaves into the glass with the blueberries, using as much as desired for flavor. - Add rum
Pour rum into each glass to form the alcoholic base of the mojito. - Muddle the fruit and herbs
Using a muddler or similar tool, gently crush the blueberries and mint to release their juices and aromas, taking care not to damage the decorated rim. - Add kiwi mixture
Pour the blended kiwi and simple syrup mixture into each glass over the muddled fruit. - Top with sparkling water
Fill the glass with sparkling water to lighten and refresh the drink. - Adjust to taste
Taste and adjust as desired by adding more simple syrup for sweetness, more mint, extra ice, or additional rum if preferred. - Garnish and serve
Finish with extra blueberries and a fresh mint leaf on top. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes
- Muddle gently—crushing the mint too hard can make it taste bitter, so press just enough to release its fresh aroma and flavor.
