Muddle the Blackberries: In a sturdy glass, add the fresh blackberries, lime wedges, and mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently crush the ingredients together. This releases the juices and essential oils, creating a flavorful base for your cocktail.
Add Sugar: Sprinkle the sugar over the muddled mixture and stir it gently to combine. This step helps to dissolve the sugar and enhances the sweetness of the blackberries and lime.
Mix with Rum: Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture. Use a jigger for accurate measurements to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.
Shake it Up: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour the rum mixture into it. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend the ingredients.
Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. You can use a fine mesh strainer to catch any pulp if desired.
Add Club Soda: Top off the cocktail with club soda, adding a refreshing fizz. Give it a gentle stir to combine without losing the carbonation.
Garnish: Finish your Blackberry Mojito by garnishing with a sprig of fresh mint and a few whole blackberries on top. This not only looks beautiful but also adds an aromatic touch.
Enjoy! Sip your delicious Blackberry Mojito and let the flavors transport you to a tropical paradise.
