Blackberry Mojito
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 oz Rum (traditionally white. But, feel free to substitute)
- 4 each small to medium limes cut half or into wedges
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup sugar (preferably organic)
- 2 cups Soda water (club soda or sparkling, not tonic)
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Muddle sugar and mint in a pitcher by pressing down with a muddling stick or wooden spoon. This crushes the mint and blends the flavor into the sugar. Squeeze the limes and toss them in. Continue to muddle. Add the rum and berries and stir. Then add the sparkling water and ice. Give a good stir to mix everything. Then pour into glasses and garnish with more lime wedges and mint.
- For a more dramatic effect dip the rim in mint sugar.
