Special Notes

This refreshing blackberry mojito is perfect for summer entertaining. The muddled blackberries add sweetness and color while the mint provides freshness. The key is to muddle the ingredients gently to release the flavors without over-crushing. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and increase the club soda. This cocktail pairs well with light appetizers and seafood dishes.
