Blackberry Mojito Recipe

Is there a better Summer cocktail than an ice cold mojito? NOPE. Something about the cocktail reminds me of warm tropical weather. I suppose it makes me feel like I’m on vacation.

I’ve always loved mojitos, but I think you have to like mint to really like a mojito. You can always cut the mint leaf ingredient in half if you don’t like the flavor (or leave it out). Not sure if you can still technically call it a mojito, but I’m in the business of making my readers happy, so I’ll allow it just once.

I make all my mojitos the same, but muddle in different fruits to get different variations. If you take out the blackberry you’re left with a classic mojito recipe. In this case we have a blackberry mojito, but you could substitute for raspberries, strawberries, mangos, kiwis, blueberries, you name it.
