Blackberry Mojito Recipe

With fresh mint, tangy lime, and juicy blackberries, this blackberry mojito recipe will make you feel like you’re on a farmhouse porch in summer. And I hope you are.

This is a recipe that you’ll love to mix up on a summer evening. The perfect blend of sweet, tart, and refreshing.

Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need

For a perfect mojito, it’s always better to use fresh lime juice and mint. Bottled lime juice and dried mint won’t provide the same fresh flavors needed. If you prefer dark rum, you can make dark rum mint mojitos with the mint leaves and lime juice you already have!

Equipment

• muddler (or just the narrow end of a wooden spoon)
• tall glass

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 12 large mint leaves
• ¼ cup blackberries
• ½ cup club soda
• ¼ cup white rum

How to Make A Blackberry Mojito

Step One: Prepare The Glass. Place the blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice into the tall glass you intend to use for serving.

Step Two: Muddle The Ingredients. Using a muddler, gently press down and twist on the blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice mixture until the mint is slightly bruised and the blackberries release their juices. This usually takes about 30 to 45 seconds. Avoid over-muddling to prevent the mint from becoming bitter.

Step Three: Add Ice. Fill the glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes to chill the mixture and refresh the drink.

Step Four: Pour In The Liquids. Slowly add the white rum and club soda to the glass, pouring over the ice to mix the drink gently and maintain its fizz.

Step Five: Stir And Garnish. Stir the mixture gently with a long spoon to combine all the ingredients well. Garnish with a few whole blackberries, a sprig of fresh mint, and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.

Step Six: Serve Immediately. Serve the mojito immediately to enjoy its freshness and vibrant flavors.
