Blackberry Mojito

I hope you guys aren’t tired of Blackberry things yet. I never get tired of Blackberry things, especially when that thing is a mojito. Ooooooh Yeah…

While the original lime and mint mojito is a timeless classic, it’s fun to change it up once in a while and add a pop of flavor. Debbie and I originally made our massive batch of blackberry simple syrup for this mojito, because we LOVE mojitos, but also ended up making Blackberry and Peach Sangria with it as well as a Blackberry and Rosemary Margarita (spoiler alert!). The syrup and this mojito were so good that we just had to keep creating new cocktails with it.

Debbie says that this is her new favorite mojito and it’s probably mine too.   It’s got that extra bit of sweetness from the berries, but the fresh mint and lime juice still shine through and create an amazing aroma and flavor. And they look absolutely gorgeous too with that dark juicy red color.

Debbie and I made a pitcher of these when we mixed them up. Mojitos are a little more time consuming to make than some other drinks, with all the muddling and all that, so we often make a pitcher so we only have to muddle once. Our pitcher recipe will make about 5 cocktails so hide if from people who want a mojito, but don’t want to make the effort to muddle it themselves!  Grrrrr.  Unless they help with the first muddle, of course!

Blackberry Mojito

Alright, so I have some big news!  Kevin and I have sold our house.  Its official!  It’s exciting and scary and stressful all at the same time.  I’m looking forward to purging and getting rid of stuff that we don’t need.  It’s amazing the amount of stuff that a few people can accumulate in 2 years!  And I’m looking forward to change because change can be a good thing.  But I’m also a little apprehensive because we are moving at the beginning of October but we don’t have a place to live yet!  I know that will work itself out, but it feels a little uneasy at the moment.  We only planned to stay in the house for a year while we renovated it, but ended up staying for 2.  We love it there, but it’s part of the plan to move on to bigger and better.

Have a great weekend everyone and have a mojito!

    Wow, this mojito looks delicious! I love the photos and could definitely use a pitcher of these right about now. Also, congrats on selling your house! That must be a huge relief and I’m sure you’ll find a great place to move to 🙂

      Thank you so much Maya! We have actually found an older house to buy with a huge backyard and lots of reno potential. I’ll have a nice big deck to sip mojitos on at the new house too 🙂
