Jump into spring with this refreshing Blackberry Mojito!

Blackberry Mojito
Cocktails are some of my biggest posts here on One Sweet Appetite so I’ve decided it’s about time to expand the list. Perfect timing with Cinco De Mayo right around the corner, am I right?

After a quick look in the fridge I realized I had a bunch of mint begging to be used and the only recipe that came to mind was a mojito. Those drinks are without a doubt one of my all time favorites. They are so refreshing and slightly sweet which is right up my alley! The only problem? I already have an amazing Mojito recipe on the site so I was going to have to get creative…

Blackberries and Mint
Good news is that I didn’t have to think very hard. Blackberries are in season and the idea of a lime blackberry flavor combo had me sold. I started with a simple muddling of blackberries and mint in the bottom of my glasses. In case you aren’t sure what exactly I mean… You are just going to add two or three berries to the bottom of a glass with your mint and a squeeze of lime. Take a spoon and smash until fragrant.

Add a few spoons of homemade mint lime syrup (recipe below)…

A shot of rum (or a spoon of coconut flavored syrup for my mocktail drinking friends)…

Rum
And club soda to top things off! Instant deliciousness! You are going to be blown away at how amazing this flavor trio truly is. The lime and blackberries add a tart start, the syrup sweetens things up, and the mint gives you that final fresh taste! I’ve made these over and over and love them a little more each and every time. If you chose to make the alcohol free version you even get the added bonus of coconut! Yes, it’s optional but if you have the syrup around you’ll want to stir it in.
