Blackberry Mojito
The Blackberry Mojito is a fruity twist on the classic mojito, combining the tartness of lime, the sweetness of blackberries, and the refreshing taste of mint. Light, fizzy, and incredibly easy to make, it’s the perfect cocktail for summer gatherings, brunches, or relaxing evenings.
Ingredients
- 6 –8 fresh blackberries
- 8 –10 fresh mint leaves plus a sprig for garnish
- 1 lime juiced (about 1 ounce)
- 1 –2 teaspoons granulated sugar or simple syrup, to taste
- 2 ounces white rum
- Club soda to top off the glass
- Ice crushed or cubed
Instructions
- In a sturdy glass or shaker, add blackberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar (or simple syrup).
- Using a muddler, gently press and twist the ingredients to release the blackberry juices and mint oils.
- Pour in 2 ounces of white rum and stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice, packing it tightly to chill the drink and suspend the muddled ingredients.
- Slowly pour chilled club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint and a few blackberries. Add a lime wedge or wheel for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately with a straw.
