So far I’ve made blackberry ginger bars, sangria, and now these blackberry mojitos, and I’ve still got tons of blackberries to spare. I’m checking out a bunch of these recipes and trying to figure out what to make next, but in the meantime, I’ll be sipping on one of these refreshing cocktails.

Blackberry Mojito Cocktail

(Adapted from here.)

Makes 1

12 blackberries
12 large mint leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cups seltzer water
1/4 cups vodka or rum
6 to 8 ice cubes
Mint sprig (optional)
Lime slices (optional)

Muddle blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice in a tall glass until berries are mostly crushed. Add vodka or rum and seltzer, and stir to combine. Top with ice cubes and garnish with a mint sprig and lime slice.

Enjoy!
