Kick off mojito season with this refreshing blackberry mojito recipe! A perfect blend of sweet and tangy muddled blackberries, fresh mint, lime juice, rum, and a splash of soda water. Easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
1. In a sturdy glass (like a highball glass), combine the blackberries, mint leaves, and lime wedges.
2. Using a muddler, gently muddle the ingredients together until the blackberries are broken down and the mint is fragrant. Be careful not to over-muddle the mint, as it can become bitter.
3. Add the white rum and simple syrup (or sugar) to the glass.
4. Fill the glass with ice.
5. Top off with club soda or sparkling water.
6. Stir gently to combine.
7. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, lime wedge, and a few extra blackberries if desired. Serve immediately.
