The classic mojito recipe gets a refreshing twist with the addition of blackberries! Give this Blackberry Mojito recipe a try this summer for a fun twist on the classic!

This cocktail is my faaaaaaaavorite. It is beautiful, refreshing, and loaded with delicious flavor. Seriously, 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 have 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 is optional, but if you have the syrup around you’ll want to stir it in.
