02 - Pour in freshly squeezed lime juice and white rum. Stir well to combine.
03 - Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
04 - Gently top with club soda. Use a stirring spoon to blend the drink, taking care not to lose the fizzy texture.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a smoother cocktail, strain the muddled mixture before adding ice and soda.
02 - Prepare a pitcher by scaling ingredients as needed; add club soda and ice just before serving.
03 - Blueberry mojito base can be made up to 3 days ahead if stored without ice or club soda.
04 - Enhance presentation by preparing mint-infused ice cubes.
