This is a nice, refreshing, summery drink. You can use light or golden rum, but dark rum is too overpowering. The sugar can be hard to dissolve. You can use simple syrup instead, or try using superfine sugar.

How To Make blueberry rum smash

  • Step 1
    Place the strawberries at the bottom of your glass. An old-fashioned or mason jar work well here.
  • Step 2
    Add the brown sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use a muddler to smash the blueberries until the sugar is dissolved. You want the blueberries burst, but not mashed into a pulp.
  • Step 3
    Fill the glass with crushed ice. Pour in the rum. Top with ginger ale. Stir. Serve. You can garnish with a few blueberries or a lemon slice.
