Summer calls for fruity cocktails, and there is no blackberry rum cocktail more refreshing than this Blackberry Mojito cocktail! Perfectly sweet with just the right amount of mint, it truly is the best blackberry mojito recipe!
Welcome to Friday at Five!
This is a new feature that I aim to do weekly, because really, sometimes by the end of the week, you NEED a good cocktail to transition you into “weekend mode.”
What is a mojito?
A mojito is a cocktail traditionally made with white rum, lime juice, sugar, mint leaves, ice, and sparkling water or club soda. To spice it up, you can add a fruity flavor (like this blackberry mojito, or this Basil Mango Mojito.)
Starbucks had this really awesome new drink a few years back- Teavana® Shaken Iced Blackberry Mojito Tea Lemonade. It was so good (and actually, J drank about 1/3 of it-stinker), but it made me want the real thing. That evening, I came home and devised this little sip of divination.
Side note, I really miss that drink at Starbucks.
