Blackberry Mojito Recipe
This Blackberry Mojito is bold, fizzy, and just a little bit fancy. Sweet blackberries muddled with lime and mint meet white rum and sparkling water for a summery cocktail that’s as beautiful as it is refreshing. It’s the drink that turns a casual get-together into a patio party; just shake, pour, and impress.
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
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
Instructions
- 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.
