This delicious Blackberry Mojito, with the delicious combination of fresh blackberries and crushed mint, will take your regular summer cocktails to a whole new level!
Add the blackberries, fresh lime juice, sugar and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously until the blackberries and mint leaves have been crushed. If you have a muddler, use it to crush them together for even more minty flavor!
5 fresh blackberries, Juice of half a lime, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 6 mint leaves
Add the rum, then fill the shaker about halfway with ice. Shake again.
2 ounces white rum
Pour the drink into an ice-filled glass and top with soda water.
3 ounces club soda, Ice
Garnish with extra blackberries, fresh mint leaves, or lime wedges.
Notes
If you don't have a muddler, you can use the end of a wooden spoon.
Be sure to use a light rum. The dark or spiced variety won't work as well and may overpower the mint and lime flavors.
