Sippin’ on Summer

Blackberry Mojito Magic

 

Cheers to Good Times and Great Cocktails!

Blackberries are in season, making this the perfect time to enjoy a fresh and fruity mojito. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard BBQ, or just chilling on the porch, this blackberry mojito is your go-to summer drink. So, gather your friends, mix up a batch, and toast to the sunny days ahead!

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 8-10 mint leaves (more if you’re feeling minty!)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (or more if you like it sweet)
  • 2 ounces white rum (make it a double if it’s been that kind of day)
  • Club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime slices and extra mint leaves for garnish

 Instructions: 

Get Your Muddle On: In your favorite cocktail glass, toss in those blackberries (they’re in season!), mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to mash everything together. Think of it as a mini workout – you’re releasing all the delicious flavors!

Rum’s the Word: Pour in the white rum and stir it up to blend with your
berry-mint magic.

Ice, Ice Baby: Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top it off with a splash (or two) of club soda. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything up.

Garnish and Glam: Add some lime slices and a few extra mint leaves for that Instagram-worthy finish. Feeling fancy? Throw a couple of whole blackberries on top.

Sip and Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your creation, then kick back, relax, and savor the taste of summer in a glass
