Infused with the tropical flavours of blackberries, lime, and mint, the blackberry mojito is the quintessential summer beverage. The rum-based cocktail is a fixture at outdoor brunches; it refreshes guests as well as helps them stay cool and hydrated. Here’s an easy recipe to enliven your weekend.
12 fresh blackberries 12 mint leaves ½ cup seltzer water ¼ cup rum 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice 4 teaspoons of sugar 6–8 ice cubes
In a clean glass, add sugar, blackberries, lemon juice, lime juice, and mint leaves. Muddle these ingredients together.
Pour seltzer water into the concoction, followed by rum. As a finishing touch, top off the concoction with ice cubes for chilling purposes.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that all the flavours from the different ingredients have blended properly.
Enhance the visual appearance of the drink by adding mint leaves, lime wheels, or lemon twists as garnish. This step is optional. Enjoy!
