blackberry mojito

blackberry mojitos on the patio. it doesn't get better than this.

 

to mix one yourself:

put 1/3 lime (cut up), 5-6 blackberries and 4-6 mint leaves, and 3 tbsp sugar or splenda in bottom of glass.

 

mash with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to crush leaves and juice limes.

 

pour in 1 to 1 1/2 jiggers rum; stir.

 

add ice and top off with sparkling water.

 

garnish with mint leaves.

 

you can fool around with these quantities until you find the flavor and potency you like best. you can leave out the blackberries to have a classic mojito or use another fruit instead of the blackberries.
