Our Persian mulberries are ripe! If you've never had one, they are 3" long purple-black berries with a delicately floral sweetness. They are much softer and more prone to crushing than raspberries, which is why they aren't ever seen in stores. They take ages to pick, too, because only one in a given cluster will be ripe at a time (you can see an example of that on the branchlet in the photo).
But it doesn't take many to make a mulberry mojito, with the recipe I worked on tonight!
12-14 mulberries
10 mint leaves
juice from 1 small lime
1 tsp sugar (optional)
1 oz rum
3 oz club soda/sparkling water
The mulberries add sweetness, so you can leave out the sugar entirely. But I found that I liked to sprinkle the sugar over the berries and let them macerate a bit before crushing them through a sieve. Add the mint and lime juice to a glass and muddle the leaves. Add the strained mulberry juice (don't worry if pulp joins in, it's tasty), the rum, and the club soda. Mix in some ice and enjoy!

Mint Mojito
Heidi saw the mint leaf and knew that she had to try it. And then she found out what it was and knew it was a moral imperative. As with my cupcake, her expectations fell drearily short of reality. Darn.
The cake was a subtle mix of vanilla and some citrus, we're guessing lime as the obvious choice. The frosting, however, was another story entirely. It was a vibrant mix of lime and mint that came on strong without being too sweet. Heidi complains that one Cupcake Royale cake is enough to make her teeth start hurting. Not so with Grand Central.
But it's when you ate both together that the concoction truly soared. One minute subtle, the next sledgehammer strong all of it culminating into an amazingly fascinating sensation of flavor and texture, again, without ever being sticky sweet, although it did leave us both burping and hiccuping mint throughout the rest of the afternoon.
But worth it. Oh so very worth it. And at $2.25 each, a steal!
Seattlites, get moving. If you're in the area, it's worth the trip and there are plenty of locations to choose from.

This is the Mojito, a classic rum cocktail invented in the early 1900's in Havana, Cuba. Knowing the exact origin of this drink is impossible. People have been mixing rum, lime, and sugar since the age of exploration (referred to as rum punch). As soda siphons became more common, the bartenders of Havana experimented with rum punch and first mojito was created.
What we do know is how the mojito became famous. During Prohibition, many Americans seeking to wet their whistles flocked to Havana. One of the most popular bars was Sloppy Joe's where their version gained notoriety. José Abeal Y Otero aka Sloppy Joe (and yes, this is THE original Sloppy Joe) was a clever businessman and a skilled bartender. He kept his bar open 24 hours a day, kept his prices low and offered a free welcome cocktail (of which the house Mojito could be selected). Americans drinkers and gamblers treated it as a home away from home. Celebrities took interest, other bars copied or mimicked the "Sloppy" prefix. A sandwich was named after him. Sloppy Joe's was phenomenon, and it's hard to overstate how famous it was. With that fame, the tales of his Mojito spread and established what we considered to get the modern version of this refreshing cocktail.
2 oz dry white rum (I recommend Caña Brava 3 year or Flor de Caña 4 year)
0.75 oz simple syrup
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
10 mint leaves (give or take)
cold seltzer
In a shaker tin, gently muddle the mint with simple syrup. Add rum, lime juice, and ice and shake vigorously until arctic cold. Double-strain into a chilled ice filled collins glass. Top with selzter. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
