Keeping this post short and sweet to get right to the point and introduce you to the summer cocktail you’ll be wanting to make all summer long: Blackberry Lemonade Mint Mojitos!
Ready for that Pink Drink: Jump to Recipe
This drink was a fun concoction I made for my Birthday party a few weeks ago and was an instant hit, so I know it’s the perfect cocktail to impress any guest! The trick here is to muddle the blackberries and mint until they form a thick paste so that all the flavor from these ingredients gets released into the drink. The blackberries will end up completely crushed, but the mint will likely just looked bruised after muddling. Also, using a quality lemonade is definitely crucial for making this drink taste fresh and not too sweet. I recommend making a homemade lemonade or finding a store bought lemonade that isn’t jam packed with sugar or extra ingredients for the best results. I love this cocktail with whole ice cubes or even with crushed ice for a fun twist! I used Avider Cider Company Blackberry Cider for this drink, but if you can’t find a blackberry cider replacing it with a berry juice should still give you similar results (with just a bit less of a kick!).
Hope you enjoy!
