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 Ginger Bars
A couple of weeks ago we were pulling weeds in our front yard (which, I’ll be honest, is mostly weeds), and a couple of people walked by and commented to Steven that if we didn’t take out the blackberry bramble growing in the middle of the hillside, it would take over. I know that it […]

Rhubarb Liqueur Float
Despite making a double batch of the rhubarb liqueur recipe I recently posted, it’s nearly gone. We did have help from friends at a party, but I can’t blame them entirely.

The cornmeal gives it a nice crunch, and it’s not too sweet, but it pairs perfectly with some vanilla ice cream. And who can resist that lovely […]
Rhubarb Liqueur Recipe
I know I’ve gone on and on about how much I love rhubarb, but this week I’ve got proof, in the form of two different rhubarb recipes. The first is this rhubarb liqueur. It was actually inspired by one you can buy, called Rhubarb Tea. I say “inspired by,” but what I really mean is […]
Watermelon Mojito Cocktail
As it has started to feel like real summer, I’ve been craving watermelon. So I bought one the other day. But you know how on those tables for changing babies in public restrooms, they haveĀ warnings not to leave your baby unattended? Watermelons should come with those. I was preparing to cut mine up, and […]
DIY Cream Soda + Root Beer Cream Soda Cocktail
When I started this kitchen project, I was surprised to discover that cream soda doesn’t actually contain any cream. It seems like it should, doesn’t it? Although commercial cream sodas are probably made with artificial flavors, “cream soda” flavor is really easy to create with just sugar, lemon, and vanilla.
