Description

The blackberry mojito is a great way to use fresh blackberries and mint at the peak of the summer season. The berry's sweet-tart flavor is an absolute delight against the mojito's minty-lime taste, and the muddled berries give the drink a captivating deep red color.

This tasty blackberry cocktail can easily become a favorite mojito variation to enjoy all summer. Mix one up for yourself or fix a round for friends. It's easy to double or triple the recipe, and skipping the rum creates a fabulous mocktail that everyone will enjoy.
