Refreshing Blackberry Mojito

This is one of my favorite summer drink recipes - a twist on the classic mojito drink. Increase the measurements to make more than one drink, or even a larger drink in a taller glass.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons blackberries (to taste)
  • lime wedges, cut in half
  • 1 sprig mint
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 ounces clear rum
  • 3 ounces lime juice
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup

Method
 

  1. Crush the blackberries, the cut lime wedges, and mint at the bottom of your glass, gently.
  2. Add ice cubes to muddled fruit and mint.
  3. Add 2 ounces of lime juice to glass.
  4. Then, add two ounces of clear rum (I use Bacardi - though this is not an "official endorsement" it's just what I prefer).
  5. Top off glass with Simple Syrup mixture.
  6. At this step, you can do one of two things. You can pour / strain your blackberry mojito into another glass full of ice cubes and top with garnish. Alternately, you can skip that extra step and simply top with garnish.

Notes

  • Simple Syrup mixture is a blend of 1 part sugar to 1 part water. Usually it is made by boiling the two together until the sugar is dissolved.
