Preparation
For the blueberry simple syrup:
In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine sugar and water. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Keeping the heat at medium, stir in blueberries and bring to a simmer. This might take a few minutes. Once it starts simmering, keep it at a simmer for 3–4 minutes or until blueberries have started to break down. You may need to adjust your heat up/down to maintain a simmer.
Carefully strain blueberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer and let cool to room temperature. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week in a closed container.
For the peach puree:
Place washed peach(es) into your high powered blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
For the blueberry peach mojito:
Gently muddle mint leaves with lime juice. Stir in syrup and peach puree. Add ice. Pour in rum and top with club soda. Stir gently and serve immediately. Garnish with extra mint and blueberries, if desired.
