A blackberry mojito is an amazing summer cocktail using seasonally available fruit. Delightful, crisp and refreshing, the blackberry mojito is a fruity, vibrant twist on the classic Cuban cocktail, combining the tartness of fresh blackberries with the cooling flavors of mint and lime. It is highly regarded as a refreshing summer drink and is often served in a highball glass.
In a pint glass, drop mint leaves in the bottom and gently muddle, just enough to release the aromatic juices from the leaves. Next add blackberries and muddle to crush berries. Fill glass with ice, add rum, then lime juice and simple syrup. Place a stainless Boston shaker over the glass and shake. Leaving all of the contents in the stainless shaker, pour the contents back into the pint glass. Top off with a splash of soda water and garnish with mint leaves.
Eliminate the rum and this drink is an awesome and flavorful mocktail.
