Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup Fresh blackberries Plus extra for garnish
10 Mint leaves Fresh no stems
2 tbsp Sugar Adjust to taste
3 Limes Juiced
1/2 cup White rum Coconut rum also works great
Crushed ice As needed
Sparkling water To top off
Lime slices For garnish
Mint sprigs For garnish

Equipment

1 Muddler Or use the back of a wooden spoon
1 Cocktail shaker Or mason jar with a lid
4 Highball glasses Or any tall glass with enough room for ice
1 Small mesh strainer Optional, for removing seeds

Method

In a shaker or directly in the glass, muddle the blackberries, mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar together until the berries release their juice and the mint smells amazing.
Add the white rum and give everything a good stir (or shake, if using a shaker).
Strain the mixture into glasses if you want a smoother sip, leave the seeds in if you like it rustic.
Fill glasses with crushed ice, then top each with sparkling water.
Garnish with extra blackberries, a mint sprig, and a lime slice. Serve chilled and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Want a mocktail version? Skip the rum and top off with sparkling lime water or coconut water.
Love spice? Try muddling in a thin slice of jalapeño for a kick.
Use a mesh strainer if you want to remove seeds or pulpy bits for a smoother drink.
Crushed ice is key for mojitos, it melts slower and holds flavor better.
